There are power laws that are active within the kingdom of God. Oriented to heaven’s pattern, the apostle Paul writes, “For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor. 12:10). Paul was a tiny input within the complex system known as the Greco-Roman world. However, his impact was gigantic. Paul was a walking example of a kingdom power law, writing, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Cor. 12:9). The armies of Rome were no match for a tiny man who was a leader oriented to God.
