When athletes train, they fail at times. However it is in those failures that athletes find their weakness. When they discover a weakness, they work on and train that weakness until it is no longer a weakness. Thats how we should be as we grow in the Lord. We will fail at times, but it is in those failures that God is showing us where we are weak. When we find those areas in our lives where we are weak, we are to work with God to make them strong. For example, one of my weak areas was low self esteem. God wanted me to see myself as He saw me, but I always saw my faults. When He showed me that I suffered from low self esteem, at first it hurt, but then He showed me in the Bible how He saw me. I took those scriptures, meditated on them, thought about them, read them out loud until low self esteem was no longer a problem. God is not showing our weak areas to make us feel bad, He is showing us our weak areas because He wants us to train those areas to make them stronger in order that we can win the prize.
Take Away: when God shows you an area in your life where you are weak, first acknowledge that area as being weak, find scriptures that speak to that area of your life, meditate on them and then rejoice in the fact that God loves you enough to want to help you.
