It is possible that the issue at hand is not simply a matter of strength versus weakness. In the realm of God's judgment, both the weak and the strong are utilized and valued. Weakness, from God's perspective, is actually elevated. However, I do not believe that God intentionally causes us to be weak for harmful purposes. Instead, He does so to safeguard us. In a way, He opposes the underlying reasons for our weakness. He has provided us with a means to combat our own weaknesses. How can we thrive if we contentedly embrace our weakness? Through grace, we have been given not only the ability to endure weakness but also the opportunity to utilize it for our own advantage. Our goal should not be to avoid negativity in order to become stronger, but rather to proclaim God's teachings in order to triumph over negativity.

We can draw a parallel between this struggle with weakness and the sport of wrestling. A person who successfully pins their opponent demonstrates not only effective self-defense, but also a keen understanding of how to strategically manipulate their own body to gain an advantage. Similarly, our defense is not passive, but rather involves positioning ourselves in a way that metaphorically pins our opponent. If God, who holds the ultimate authority and judgement over the entire world, has orchestrated everything in all times and places for the greater good, then His declaration of such is just and undeniable. It is when we are unable to defend ourselves that we are furthest removed from God's absolute pronouncements.

When we consider our role in society, it is essential to recognize that true unity and purpose can only be found in aligning ourselves with God's absolute truths. God's pronouncements shape our experiences and guide our understanding of the world around us. It is not simply a matter of following boundaries set by scripture, but rather acknowledging the deeper communication of God's will in all things. Through His perfect wisdom and justice, God orchestrates the existence and changes in our lives. His proclamations serve as a guide for our well-being and protection, rather than a means of control. By embracing God's blessings and warnings, we can find harmony and balance in our lives, transcending our limitations and experiencing His power. We do not need to rely on rigid rules to navigate our environment, but rather trust in God's guidance and providence.
