There is new strength for you today!

So many people have said that they are very tired of always battling. There is always an issue to deal with; a problem with one of their children; issues at work; a disagreement with the spouse, etc. Their strength has been depleted due to the constant daily struggles and problems. God sees your struggles, and has made strength available for you in the Holy Ghost. Look at what these verses say to you today:

Nehemiah 8:10 – The  joy of the Lord is your strength. 

Isaiah 40:29 – He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Ephesians 3:16 – He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.

Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

So you can see, you already have more strength than you need. It’s already available. All you have to do is ask, and you shall receive. God is waiting to shower you with new strength. Receive His strength today!

Proverbs 10:29 – The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

Who are you trusting in?

Trust is a powerful factor in relationships. Trust engenders honor. Trust ascribes value. Trust says you are important. Trust says I’ve checked you out and you have character and integrity. Psalm 118:8 (AMPC) says: “It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” This is not saying that we cannot trust people. There are trustworthy people around us. It is saying that we need to primarily trust God and His word. He has to be first. If we trust what people say over what God says, it will lead us astray. When God is the bedrock of our lives, nothing people say or do will lead us astray. Jeremiah 17:5 (AMP) says: “Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, and whose mind and heart turn away from the Lord”. Note how the prophet emphasizes that we must stay away from trusting in weak, faulty flesh. We are not to allow “flesh” to turn our hearts away from the Lord. So today, we need to make a personal assessment and see where our trust is. If it is in the wrong place, today is the perfect day to make the needed adjustment. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths”. Proverbs 3:5,6.
