Of the abundant provision made for every tempted soul, the apostle Paul bears eloquent testimony. To him was given the divine assurance, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." In gratitude and confidence the tried servant of God responded: "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, them am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10.

Apostlen Paulus aflægger et klingende vidnesbyrd om den store omsorg, som vises hvert eneste fristet menneske, Han fik denne forsikring af Gud: "Min nåde er dig nok; thi i magtesløshed udfolder min kraft sig helt." Guds tjener svarede taknemmeligt og tillidsfuldt: "Langt hellere vil jeg derfor rose mig af min magtesløshed, for at Kristi kraft kan tage bolig i mig. Derfor er jeg vel til mode under magtesløshed, under mishandlinger, i nød, under forfølgelser, under ængstende kår for Kristi skyld; thi når jeg er magtesløs, da er jeg stærk." 2Kor. 12,9-10.
