Good day
Recently during praise and worship, I believe the Holy Spirit said that God's strength is available to us and I believe He wants me to share this encouragement with you as well.
I'm sure there are some who are feeling tired or exhausted, saying it's been a long year and wishing the year could just come to an end already (or that they could be on leave already), and while all of those feelings may be valid, I believe God is saying that He doesn't want us to finish the year off with a somewhat defeated mindset, like we're just getting by in survival mode, coasting along - but that He wants us to receive His strength and finish the year off strong!
He wants us to know that His strength is available to us today and everyday!
So let's do so my friend, let's draw aside and spend time in His presence, and receive His strength today - because it's freely available to us!
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait (hope) on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Ephesians 6:10
In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
Philippians 4:13
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
Amen!
