Strength

There are times when I feel the Holy Spirit prompting me to do something. So I go ahead and jump in to that idea. As I am starting to do it, I begin to run like a hamster in one of those hamster wheels, thinking I can get somewhere fast. But God’s thoughts, ways and timing are not ours.

Isaiah 55:8 "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”

He has much to teach us and others with each experience He gives us. So it is up to us to lean into our Father and trust Him even when we don’t understand the how, when or why.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.”

Philippians 1:6 “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

I have a tendency to get derailed trying to do things in my own strength, which only leaves me exhausted and feeling defeated. But I like the phrase that says; “Do all you can…. And God will do, what you cannot.”

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

So I come back to the Lords feet and hand Him my burdens knowing that He loves me and has a plan and a purpose for my life.

1Peter 5:7 “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”

1Corinthians 6:17 “But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Romans 7:4 “So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the One who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God.”

God is our strength. He is stronger and mightier then anyone or anything. He is our rock and can be trusted to be faithful.

Psalm 68:34 “Tell everyone about God's power. His majesty shines down on Israel; His strength is mighty in the heavens.”

1Samuel 30:6b “But David found strength in the LORD his God.”

Job 12:16 “Yes, strength and wisdom are His; deceivers and deceived are both in His power.

Lord, I pray for Your will to be done in my life and that I would surrender to You no matter what may come.
