This perspective could be quite thought-provoking, especially on how God equips us in unexpected ways to face our &#8220;Goliaths&#8221;. God often uses what the world sees as &#8220;weak&#8221; to accomplish His purposes. Paul learned this from 2 Corinthians 12:8\u20139 when God denied his prayer request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><sup>8<\/sup>Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. <sup>9<\/sup>Each time he said, \u201cMy grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.\u201d So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share with your friends, <strong>&#8220;What do you think about the unconventional way God usually work?
