"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, But sometimes I wonder what He can do for me; No great success to show, No glory of my own; yet in my weakness He is there to let me know: His strength is perfect when our strength is gone; He'll carry us when we can't carry on; Raised in His power the weak becomes strong; His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect. We can only know the power that He holds, When we truly see how deep our weakness goes; His strength it must begin, When ours comes to an end; He hears our humble cry and proves again; His strength is perfect when our strength is gone; He'll carry us when we can't carry on; Raised in His power the weak become strong, His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect."
I was awakened with these words going over and over in my mind so I pray you will gain strength in knowing that it is through Christ and Him alone, that we gain strength to overcome obstacles and tough times in our life(Philippians 4:13). Circumstances will change and time will go on; but getting through those tough times can often leave one weary and heavy ladened, and very often take a toll on one's faith unless we are anchored, safe and secure in God's Word.
Filling our mind with His Word prevents an open door for negative thinking so we must "keep our minds with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life"(Prov 4:23). Left unguarded our minds become a playground for satan's deceptive and devisive schemes; leaving doubt and gloom, in place of hope and peace through Christ Jesus. By example, Jesus taught us to rise up early in the morning and spend that much needed alone time with God, where we gain wisdom and power needed to face challenges of the day ahead. As we take one day at a time as Jesus notes in Mt 6:34, leaning upon Him to lead our way, we are strengthened with His might and His power to become more than conquerors through Him who Loves us(Rom 8:37)!
Circumstances will come and go; but the one sure constant in this life is that God Never Changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever(Hebrews 13:8); and because He is no respecter of persons(Acts 10:34), what He did for someone in the days of old, He will do the same for you and me today. All it takes is our total surrender to Him leading our way, as noted in Prov.3:5-6,"Trust in the Lord with all our heart, and lean not unto our own understanding; but in all our ways, we acknowledge the Lord, He will direct our path." With God leading our way, we are not defeated, but rise Victoriously! Praise The Lord!
Dear friends, As Christians we hold the power within through Him Who loves us; and in our weakness, He is made strong! Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and the Life; and He is truly All we ever need to make it through this world. I pray you will allow Him to guide you through this life so you will have a wonderfully blessed day! God loves you and so do I~~~
