If you faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
~Proverbs 24:10
When the trials of this life come, I have learned the most important thing I can do is to keep my eyes focused on God and on His ability, rather than on me. It is only through His strength rising up within me that I can walk through the trials of this life. I've also learned the importance of staying in the Word of God every single day. God tells me how to handle the things of this life in His Word. It's my lifeline to God, as well as prayer.
I'm actually having to depend on the strength of God right now as I walk through a trial. It's not easy. The battle I'm fighting is tiring, but I press on - only because of the strength of God that lives in me.
I'm submitting to His strength at work in my flesh. There is no other way I could possibly make it through this spiritual battle. So I walk in the power of His Spirit that lives within me.
Seeking to live life's moments in the power of God's grace.
That's the heart of this blog - that's my heart.
Galatians 6:9 tells us: "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." That's one of my life verses. It's what I keep telling myself as I trust God and in the power of His strength.
Where is your strength found, sweet friend? I hope it is found in God, your Creator; in Jesus, Your Savior; and in the power of the Holy Spirit that lives inside of every believer.
Walking in His Grace,
Laurie

I have been following along in Proverbs with you and have learned so much. Thank you for all of your insights and sharing. Also, I think the Proverb you quoted should be 24:10, not 14:10. I really enjoy your sight so much. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Kathy, for pointing that out. I've fixed the chapter reference. It's so nice to know you have been following along with me in Proverbs. God bless you too!
