Survival of the fittest


2 Corinthians 12:9 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.

All from the beginning humans have fought for survival, trying always to be the stronger ones. It doesn't matter if we are talking about the Bible or secular subjects like science or history, we are always taught that the stronger specimen is always to survive, natural selection, the most fit for an environment will be the survivor. In the Bible we find how satan tried to take God's place as the most powerful being in the universe. We see how Cain trying to be better than Abel took him to a field and killed him, Saul tried to have David killed and even tried to murder him himself and we have many more examples alike in the Bible, but all cases are similar, they have the same result.

Nowadays is no different we have politicians against each other, liberals
against conservatives, communism against capitalism, countries fighting each other for oil and other resources, but it doesn't stop there, neighbor against neighbor, parents against their own children and children against their parents, even the church is involved in this fight for survival. Yes church  against church, non-charismatic against charismatics, Unitarianism against  Trinitarianism, great preachers who are followed by a lot of people fighting each other from the pulpit, pastors who think their church is better and talk smack about other pastors and any church that is not their church. Survival is for the fittest, but the key is to know that in all cases whoever tries to be the strongest always fails, but those that humble themselves and show their weakness so Jesus can show his strength, those have already won.
