Strength Revealed

 

    You may feel weak when you can't fix an issue, change the circumstances, persecuted, sick, or just stuck in life.  This is when God has the biggest opportunity to reveal Himself in your life.  He can show you how He is more powerful than the impossible.  He will do it with or without your permission, but you will miss out on the blessings and seeing more of it if it you have not asked God to show Himself.

    When you feel weak, God may reveal aspects of who you are so you can see how you got yourself in the predicament.  If there is sin that needs to be reveal, then He will reveal it.  He does this not to hurt you, but to reveal truth to you and give you purpose beyond the stronghold of sin.

    Just because you walk close with God, does not mean that life will be perfect.  You will still face trials, tribulations, and pain.  It is your faith that will provide joy in the midst of the hardship.  It is your faith to will provide some understanding even if that understanding is that you will not have the answer.  

    Faith helps you be steadfast when you feel weak.  You will discover that if you go through it with God instead of trying to go around or get out of it, then you will discover the strength that God has given you.  This is when you can celebrate the hard times and discover blessings for enduring.  When it is all over and you see more clearly what God has done for you, you can see the beauty of it.  

    Rough times will expend your strength.  There is no way to avoid that.  You can fight it until you are exhausted or you can give it to the Holy Spirit to work out with God and Jesus from the beginning.  God is waiting to give you what you need, sometimes you need to ask for it to show your humble heart to God.  

    He always has a reason for not providing for your needs immediately.  Hold onto your faith because He will provide in His perfect timing.  God is your shield.  He will protect you, it just may not be the way you envisioned your protection. Trust that God will provide what you need each day, even it it is not enough for tomorrow.  Seeking His strength is a good way to build dependence on God.  Then you can be strong and brave.  Then you will not panic under the pressure.
