strength from God

Everything, Anything

/ mcalcagno / Leave a comment

Nothing is to big, to complex.  Nothing is to powerful.  Nothing is to difficult to solve.  When we believe in Jesus Christ and trust Him with our everything, everyday we know that God will guide our way through anything we encounter in life.  It may not be the way we would do it on our own, but that is the point, on our own we would get stuck…stopped, without resolution.  No matter what it is you are facing, no matter what battle is knocking you back or down…get back up and surrender the issue to God.  That doesn’t mean you stop doing things or stop living, it means you do your best according to God’s word to live by the fruits of the Spirit and let God take care of the rest.  May we all take steps to surrender our worries and our anxieties to the Lord.  Amen.

Strength

God will renew our strength…He will provide our energy…the Lord is a strong tower.  Have you ever had it happen that when you turn towards God and sit with him, or truly spend time with Him you get this unknown source of energy?  Have you ever spent a great deal of time or effort on something and not felt exhausted?  And others say how did you spend so much time on that?  Have you ever heard it said or said yourself about someone…where do they get the energy to do that?  When we are aligned with God’s plan and doing things that He set out for us to do, He will supply the energy and strength we need.  We will not grow tired or weary, if we do, that is a message that we are spending our time on something that takes us away from God…this includes what we spend time thinking about in our minds.  Trust in the Lord, be faithful to His plan and you will not grow weary.  May you be blessed with wisdom and strength from the Lord.

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on the wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

The words of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew…

“This, then, is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one’.”

Matthew 6:9-13

The words of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke…

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged.  Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.  Forgive, and you will be forgiven.  Give, and it will be given to you.  A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.  For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Luke 6:37-38
