Lean upon His strength!

I am saddened that in the midst of this joyous season, there are so many who are battling depression, or some other major issue that zaps their joy and peace. The Psalmist reminds us today to cast any and all burdens on the Lord. Ask God today for new strength. Ask Him to restore the joy of your salvation. The joy of the Lord is your strength, so that is what the enemy targets. If he can get your joy, he will be able to take away your strength. Do not give in to him. Let the Lord sustain you in this season. He will give you the strength to overcome any anguish, problem, challenge or tribulation you might be experiencing. Greater is He that is within you!!!

Psalms 55:22 “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”

Get back on the “faith” track!

Have you entered into this new year with joy, peace and faith? It might be a great time to review your walk and ministry.

Have you had an opportunity to identify whether or not you’ve been operating by faith or by sight?

Are you ministering with frustration?  This might just indicate that you’ve lost your peace at the moment.  All you need to do is to get back on the “faith” track.

Have you lost your vitality and energy?  You need to spend some quiet time with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to fill you to overflowing.

Eph 5:17-19

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord NKJV

Isa 40:31

31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.  NKJV

Oh, and one more thing. Don’t forget to ask for daily wisdom.

James 1:5-7

If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord (AMP).

Stay in God’s presence this year. That’s where your strength, joy, peace, power and wisdom are! Go get em!
