Be Strong

The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed. PSALM 28:7-8

We can plan to be worn out before we ever feel tired. I used to expect to be totally wiped out physically and emotionally after my conferences. Then I prayed that as I poured energy and strength into obeying God, He would pour energy and strength back into me.

The Bible says that giving is sowing a seed that will reap a harvest (Galatians 6:7-10). If we give our strength, we will reap God’s strength. We should expect a harvest strength in out life, as we serve the Lord. He will anoint us with strength today, if we call on Him to do so.
