Today's scripture: Psalm 28:8-9
So many times, I have no strength of my own. Chronic illness saps my energy.
Poor sleep makes me even groggier than usual (which is pretty groggy ...).
Unknowns about the next steps of life's journey cause uncertainty.
Nope. No strength.
How blessed I am that I don't have to rely on my own strength because I serve
the all-powerful God of the universe! He is my strength. He is my "saving
refuge." I don't have to do this on my own!
I honestly don't know how those who aren't in relationship with God handle
life. Really. I don't.
Trying to rely on my own strength (which we've already determined is
nonexistent) is impossible. Having to rely on someone else? Well, first, that
puts a lot of pressure on that "someone else." Second, what happens
when he is out of strength? On whom
then can either of us rely?
No. I don't have to be strong on my own nor do I have to rely on another's
strength. I serve God, the all-powerful One. The one who gives me strength, who
walks alongside me every day ... and carries me when what little strength I
have gives out.
The Lord is my strength ... my saving refuge.
Praise Him!
