A pastor shared how God used his weakness to bless and help someone in need. His personal experience demonstrates the power of God and how His strength shines through our weaknesses. Watch the short but moving clip about how even weakness is a strength when God is involved.

As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Thanks to Google, we can look up any fact, figure or question in seconds and get the answer. The ability and potential to learn and acquire knowledge on basically any topic imaginable are all around us.

However, no matter how much time we spend on Google, we’ll never have all the answers. Human beings are limited in what they can do and do not and will never know everything. This is also true for pastors.

In a clip posted on YouTube, pastor Andrew Greer shares that he felt out of place in particular conversations early in his ministry. He mentions one particular conversation for which he spent so much time preparing, hoping to provide this man with the correct answers.

When the moment arrived, most of the pastor’s preparation went out of the window. He did not have answers or solutions to what the man was dealing with or going through at the time. Instead of offering advice and solutions, he spent most of the conversation just listening.

But then something happened.

“He told me afterward what he was most grateful for,” the pastor recalled. “He told me, ‘Dude, thanks so much for listening. You just let me talk.’ He goes, ‘Most people want to give me answers. They just want to, like, kind of fix it.’ He’s like, ‘It was really nice to just be able to talk.’”

It was a powerful example of what God is capable of, even in our weakness. He can use our weakness as a strength to bring glory to His name.

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble.’ Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.”
