What if you could transform your greatest weaknesses into incredible strengths? Join me, Jesse Morgan, as I share my own vulnerabilities and the journey of my close friend, Chris. Once a college athlete with nothing but a lamp and a bag of clothes, Chris relied on his faith to navigate the obstacles at the University of Alabama. His story mirrors the biblical account of Gideon, illustrating how God can turn our smallest efforts into monumental victories. Through these personal narratives, we explore the profound impact of faith and how it can guide us through even the most challenging times.
This week's devotional, titled "Are you Able to Have Faith in God Through Weakness or Struggle?" invites you to reflect on your own vulnerabilities and see them in a new light. With scripture as our guide, including passages from 1 Kings, Philippians, Judges, and Corinthians, we learn that faith isn't about having it all together but trusting in God's love and presence. Whether you're facing financial worries or battling self-doubt, let these stories inspire you to find strength in your struggles and embrace the unwavering love of God.

So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
The LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.”

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in in
