Got Strength?

Ever have those moments when you could use just a little extra oomph? Sometimes, we just need a little something to get us over the hump. There have been and are and will be many times when just a little extra strength could go a long ways.

I remember the first time I tried to run the 400 meters. I thought that I would hold back a little and blow them away at the end. Boy, was I wrong. By the time I got ready to give my final kick, the rest were so far ahead that I couldn't catch them. That's when my coach told me that the 400 meters is a sprint, start to finish. I started training for the 400 meters as a sprint. I found that if I gave everything I had from start to finish, I really didn't finish with what I started with. But, I kept working at it, kept trying to learn how to run correctly.

Today's word is from Isaiah 40:29, NIV, which reads, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

We all need someone to show us how to do things, to instruct us in our paths. Contrary to popular opinion, sometimes, we all need a little extra help. We may not have the energy or the strength to keep battling through the things that continue to come our way. BUT (don't you love the BUTS?), GOD will sustain us and give us what we need if we will only rely on Him.

Feeling a little tired? Draw from the well that is GOD'S. He will give you strength if you are tired and give you the power to carry on!

Be Blessed,
