“Your Strength, My Weakness…”
by Dona Hake
Over the next few days we will be meditating on the strength that our Lord desires us to live by. How do you respond when your spirit makes you aware that you are weakening?
When our body feels weak, it may simply be that we need rest or we are not feeling so great. Whatever the cause, if we do not purpose to turn it around
it will affect what we are capable of accomplishing…so it is in our spirit .
it will affect what we are capable of accomplishing…so it is in our spirit .
As I ponder this thought I know that there is an easy trap that anyone can fall into, and that is to try to deal with weakness in one’s own ability. The Lord offers us an extremely simple solution. Call upon Him. Lean into Him, and listen to His instruction.
The very moment we cry out to Him He hears, He listens, and He will always draw near. When we move near to Him, He faithfully draws near to us, and with that comes His great strength… if we ask for it.
“At the very moment I called out to you, you answered me!
You strengthened me deep within my soul
and breathed fresh courage into me.”
The Passion Translation
“On the day I needed You, I called,
and You responded and infused my soul with strength.”
