His strength really is enough

I know we hear this a lot as Christians, but today I wanted to encourage you that truly His strength is not just enough, but it is all we need.

Last night I was not very well and found myself emptying my stomach into the toilet (if you get what I mean). I went to bed quite late or early in the morning should I say and was finally able to sleep in a somewhat comfortable position. I slept well but it was not enough, I was on worship team this morning so I needed to be there for 8am to practice for a 9am start. I surrendered my day to God before I left the house, gave thanks for the sleep I did have and then asked for Him for strength as I was physically empty and without energy.

Strengthen me He did. As I worshipped Him, He gave me strength. As I thanked Him for all His goodness, He wrapped me in His arms. While I made mistakes while playing the bass, He told me all was well and covered me. As I went to eat lunch and could not consume anything more than a few spoons of rice and some soup, He filled my body with heat and the strength I needed to speak with people afterwards and when I was tempted to go for a walk and fellowship with others, He guided me with a soft hand to bed. “It’s time to take your rest again My Child”. I slept sweetly for a couple of hours and then rose again and He guided me through the work I needed to do earlier with ease. He lead me to eat plainish noodles with seaweed and lead me to settle into my last task of the day. Now I know this may not seem like a lot, but as I sit here writing this I am close to tears because of how He not just strengthened me today, but gently guided me through everything. I felt so taken care of, truly by my Heavenly Father. Yes I am still physically weak and tired right now, but that does not compare the gentle, soft comfort I experienced today. The love of a parent looking after their child, wisdom that guided me through each moment and the joy of simply being in His presence.

Being weak before Him, allows Him to reveal Himself in every area of your life, if you let Him. So each day, in every area of your life, I hope that you will make the decision to lay all your strength at His feet and let God be the strength you need daily. Oh what a joy it is to do so!

“I LOVE You fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength.”
