"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 feel the words to this song are needed not only for myself but for someone reading this today, so I pray you will also take them to heart and know that n our own strength we can't do all that is needed; but through Christ and Him alone we find the strength to do ALL those difficult things in our life (Philippians 4:13).
Just as Solomon describes the life seasons in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, we can all agree that each season of life is in God's supreme control, and just as each season has its appropriate time to shine forth, our lives also contain seasons of joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, harmony and struggle, and life and death. Nothing stays the same, and we must learn to adjust to the ebb and flow of God’s designs. Some seasons are almost unbearable to the point we do not understand what God is doing; but it's In those times, we learn to humbly submit to the Lord's plans and trust that He is working all things out for our good and His perfect plan.
As Spring is just around the corner and times for new beginnings is at hand. Excitement builds as we eagerly await the budding forth of a fresh new season inspiring Hope for brighter days ahead. Just something about Spring that wakes us from the dead of winter into God's glorious new beginnings of new days and new life ahead.
God is always looking for ways to bring about new beginnings to all who will awaken from their deadly past and hear His Word to obtain better days ahead as noted in Isaiah 43:19, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
We have to become aware of the need for changes and understand that it's all in God's master plan as we wait expectantly and begin to sense His work at hand.
Learning to acknowledge the Lord very early in our morning times allow us the privilege of walking beside Him through every season in our life. When you walk with a friend you learn to share the good and the bad, the happy and the sad times, and there is no closer friend we will come to know than the gift our precious Lord Jesus sent in Holy Spirit to reside within and talk with us throughout each season of our life.
We can Trust Him to work the work needed in our lives today as His Strength empowers us along our way. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and The Life (John 14:6) and just as God reminded Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4:6, It's Not by our might, nor by our power, but by the Spirit of the Lord, that all things are accomplished.; Praise the Lord! Let's allow Him to do what is needed in our life today. I pray you enjoy a wonderfully blessed today, knowing that God loves you and so do I~
