My Strength

Life can be stressful most of the time.  The Bible calls it the 'cares of this life' that seem to weigh us down.  There's always something that needs to be done or someone that needs our help.  You wash the clothes on Saturday and by Tuesday you have another 2 or 3 loads.  Ladies you know what I'm talking about.  As soon as you put the dinner dishes in the dishwasher and are ready to relax, your husband wants you to bring him a snack or it's time to fold the laundry, or mop the floor, or go to the store, or.....on and on and on. It's exhausting!

You try to take care of yourself, your husband, your kids, your grandchildren, and everybody else that needs you.  You fall into bed at night and think, finally! And then you can't sleep! There seems to be no end to the madness.  But slow down and listen to this scripture, "He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40:29  Meditate on the Word. 

I have no strength, but "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."  Philippians 4:13

Just like the old song says, "I am weak, but He is strong."  Go in the power and strength of His name.
