Stop Whining, You’ve Got This!

God gives power to the faint and weary, and to the person who has no might He increases their strength. The Lord knows the struggles we face down here. Jesus walked the earth and has been through more than any other human being on the planet. He won strength for us when He defeated the devil in hell. He gained all power again after completing His assignment of attaining salvation for us from our sin, and weaknesses. God can and does increase the strength of the weak. You may be a strong person by nature but everyone gets tired after a while. Those times when you know there’s a task that must be fulfilled no matter how you feel, that’s when we can call on the strength of the Lord for help. Our relationship with God is important, but our fellowship is even more important. It is there, through intimate times with Jesus we gain not only strength but confidence, courage, and clarity on mind. God instills in us what we need when we spend time with Him in prayer and meditation of His word. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). We have what we need for increased strength and power, because we have the Lord. Now go forth in strength and power, finish the race with your chin up, and chest out.
