得力途徑
12:1 我自誇固然無益，但我是不得已的。如今我要說到主的顯現和啟示。
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I will come: Gr. For I will come
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I will come: Gr. For I will come
12:2 我認得一個在基督裡的人，他前十四年被提到第三層天上去；或在身內，我不知道；或在身外，我也不知道；只有 神知道。
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
12:3 我認得這人；或在身內，或在身外，我都不知道，只有 神知道。
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
12:4 他被提到樂園裡，聽見隱祕的言語，是人不可說的。
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. lawful: or, possible
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. lawful: or, possible
12:5 為這人，我要誇口；但是為我自己，除了我的軟弱以外，我並不誇口。
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
12:6 我就是願意誇口也不算狂，因為我必說實話；只是我禁止不說，恐怕有人把我看高了，過於他在我身上所看見所聽見的。
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be , or that he heareth of me.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be , or that he heareth of me.
12:7 又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大，就過於自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉體上，就是撒但的差役要攻擊我，免得我過於自高。
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
12:9 他對我說：我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
12:10 我為基督的緣故，就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的；因我甚麼時候軟弱，甚麼時候就剛強了。
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。—哥林多後書12章9節

全年讀經: 撒母耳記下13-15章
塔拉在念高中時，內心時常有一種恐懼，認為自己有一天會患上重症。於是她開始禱告，請上帝讓她免於罹患她想像中的重疾。後來，她終於改變了這種想法，決定無論遭遇任何景況，都將未來交給上帝掌管。
多年之後，塔拉的醫生發現她得了癌症，並經由化療成功地治癒了她。塔拉說，因為她將未來全然交託給上帝，所以當她得知自己罹患癌症的時候，她已經準備好與病魔搏鬥。她所遭遇的困境成為她經歷上帝大能的途徑。
從使徒保羅的生命，我們也能看到這種降服於上帝的心態。保羅在經歷了「一根刺加在我肉體上」的困境之後，才學會降服（哥林多後書12章7節）。
保羅曾三次 因這困苦向上帝禱告，求上帝挪去這苦難。但上帝對他說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全」（9節）。
當保羅明白之後，便以積極的 態度來看待他的困苦說：「所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我……因我甚麼時候軟弱，甚麼時候就剛強了！」（9-10節）
在面對我們的恐懼及掙扎時，要全然降服於上帝，這是極其重要的。當我們這麼做，上帝就能藉由我們所遭遇的困境，成為彰顯祂大能的途徑。HDF
無論你有多少重擔，
無論遭遇多少困難；
記得救主會賜力量，
你的軟弱顯祂堅強。Sper
靠自己的能力，絕對比不上順服上帝的大能。
