THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD

​THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD
SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO REALIZE THAT THE REASON YOU’RE STILL HERE IS BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN GOING IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD. WE GET SO INVOLVED SOMETIMES WITH WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND US AND WHAT MAY SEEM NEGATIVE THAT SOMETIMES WE LOSE FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THE LORD COULD’VE ALLOWED OTHER THINGS TO HAPPEN THAT WERE A LOT LESS APPEALING. DAY TO DAY WE LOOK TO JESUS AS OUR HOPE AND OUR WEAKNESS PERFECTED IN HIS STRENGTH. SO OFTEN THE ENEMY BRINGS OUR ATTENTION SO QUICKLY TO THINGS THAT MAY APPEAR TO BE WRONG OR LACKING WHEN THE SPIRIT GREATLY DESIRES FOR US TO SEE LOVE ND POSSIBILITY AND TO PERFECT THAT WHICH MAY BE LACKING. CHRIST HAS BEEN OUR STRENGTH SINCE HE SPOKE US INTO EXISTENCE. WE MUST UTILIZE THIS SAME STRENGTH WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE LOVE IS LACKING, HOPE IS LACKING, OR IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE BARELY HOLDING ON. WE MUST FOCUS ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE MOVE OF HIS SPIRIT NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION LOOKS LIKE OR WHAT THE ENEMY IS TELLING US. FAITH AND HOPE IN THE POSSIBILITY IS WHAT MOVES GOD. THROUGH HIM WE FIND THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. THIS STRENGTH KEEPS US STANDING ON HIS PROMISES, HOPING IN HIS LOVE, AND BELIEVING BEYOND ALL LOGIC. HE IS…HE IS…AND HE WILL.
I THES 3:9-10
FOR WHAT THANKS CAN WE RENDER TO GOD AGAIN FOR YOU, FOR ALL THE JOY WHEREWITH WE JOY FOR YOUR SAKES BEFORE OUR GOD;
NIGHT AND DAY PRAYING EXCEEDINGLY THAT WE MIGHT SEE YOUR FACE, AND MIGHT PERFECT THAT WHICH IS LACKING IN YOUR FAITH?
