Bible Strength
Strength and weakness are two very crucial traits to know about a person to determine their character. You can figure out the character of a person based on either their strength or weakness. The Bible has many good examples of both of these. Strength and weakness can be determined by the response someone gives when they are put in situations, like in the influence of others, or even when the odds are stacked against them.
Weakness to me is something that stops us from doing good, or normal day activities. I think that in the Bible they mention many weaknesses but one stands out to me more than the others. I believe that mankind’s greatest weakness is the influence of others. Like in the story of Adam and Eve they are told not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge by God, but then they are persuaded by the serpent that they should disobey God, and eat from it. They were so greatly affected by the words of others it contradicted what was right. I think that this story really does a good job at showing the effect of others words on our decisions.

In the bible there is one example of strength that caught my eye and it was the story of David and Goliath.

This and many other stories go to show believing in yourself is all you need, not the approval of others. If people today could just stop worrying what the numbers are, and just know that if they put their mind to it they can do anything there would be a lot more
