Sufficient Strength

 Psalm 119:50 - King James Version

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Ever feel like crying and not sure why? Do you ever burst out laughing for no reason? My answer is yes to both questions.  The tears and the laughter add strength.  The expressions, “A good cry”, “I needed a good laugh”, are evidence of shared life experiences. 

Sufficient strength. Sufficient grace.  God always gives us just what we need. Today the Lord woke me up early. I got up although moving slowly. I completed the morning routine of face washing, etc.  I sat down at my computer. I stared out the window. I said to myself, I’m feeling a little down today. 

The Holy Spirit sat with me. He comforted me.  He gave me the sufficient strength to keep moving. He reminded me that the enemy is trying to stop you. “But God is holding you.” Amazing! Strength sufficient for today. I feel like crying and laughing at the same time right now. 

His grace is sufficient. His strength IS made perfect in weakness. (See 2 Corinthians 12:9) Update: I am shouting inside.  Although, I am still moving slowly this morning, thank God that I can move. My thoughts are trying to wander a little too quickly. But thank God I am in my right mind. 

Sufficient strength my brothers and sisters. The strength of God imparted by the Holy Spirit is ours. Jesus paid the price for an abundant life for us. My prayer today is that we allow the strength of God to rest, rule and abide in our lives. 

God bless!

In Christ,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
