The Strength of God


     Our problems and issues are so small in comparison to God’s strength.  But do we believe that?  Our problems, our situations seem so overwhelming sometimes we feel it’s hard to believe the Lord, because we don’t see anything changing around us.  Or so it seems. 

     Our problem is we can’t see the end from the beginning.  Walking by faith is not easy.  It’s hard to believe when your senses tell you the opposite is true.  We don’t want to be presumptuous. 

     That’s why it is most important for believer’s to stay in God’s Word daily.  We forget that we are only here for a short time, and the weight of the world, overwhelms us.  James 4:14;  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes(NIV) 

     It’s also important to make sure we are plugged into a local body of believers, who are strong in the Word, who know God’s Word, and practice it even when no one is watching.  Sometimes just knowing that someone cares is all it takes to get us through a tough circumstance. This too shall pass, are comforting words to remember. The only thing that lasts is eternity.

     God promise is true in Romans 8:28;  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  (NIV) 

     Lord today we need your strength to get us though these tough times.  You are always there even if we can’t feel Your presence.  Come to our rescue, and repair the mess we made.  Forgive us for our wrong doing, and restore what Satan has taken away, in Jesus name Amen.
