My Strength is in the Lord!

I am weak, I am weary, I am worn!  Have you said that lately?  I must admit that I have felt that way a time or two recently.  Waking up wondering how you are going to get through the day, or how to handle a particular situation.  Life is frustrating and can wear and tear on a person.  The demands on one's time, mental faculties, and overall stamina are huge.

Knowing what the new age gurus say about strength makes me cringe inside.  They say its all about you and me.  That all we have to do is look inside of ourselves for the answer, for that extra portion of strength.  That we are self-made souls that control our own destiny.  Pardon the language here...but that is a bunch of mess!  Nothing could be further from the truth!  I am not able...I am helpless...I am left empty...I am so inadequate to meet the day's demands! I dont have the strength, wisdom, or will to be everything I need to be to make it in this world.

But the wonderful thing about it is...I don't have to!!  God is the one that is able for me...and for you too!  God is my strength when I cannot muster it.  God is the wisdom that I need to know what to do with the knowledge that I have.  God makes that right when they are all wrong and works them out for my good!  God is good when I am bad!  God knows the way when I cannot find the way!  He is everything I need or ever will need!  And He can and will be the same for you if you will invite Him into your heart today.

There is a song that I use to listen to many years ago as a young teen.  It was written by Joe English, who played with Paul McCartney and Wings before he got saved.  Here are some of the lyrics that I hope will touch you:

Seasons fly, times become a burden to me, cause my life is uncertain And that's not what I desire Yet I know, I must stand and wait for His word And leave the future to Jesus Cause I feel, I cannot fail Him My strength is in the Lord, all my heart and soul I give complete to Him, He has full control....my strength is the Lord

Facing Forward! Stan
