IN HIS STRENGTH
Have you ever heard
A man or a woman say,
“I am a self-made man”-or
“I am a self-made woman”
I BELIEVE
There is no such thing
For at the very least
We NEED the circumstances-
CREATED by God-
To put us in a situation-
Conducive to being successful-
And some HELP
Form someone along the way
(Hopefully-we are NOT just stepping
On people-and using people-
On our way up)
“Oh Lord
In your strength
The king is GLAD” Psalm 21:2
I feel just the opposite
I feel like
I have
Accomplished NOTHING on my own
I feel like
I have been TOTALLY DEPENDENT
On God
Totally dependent on others
Since God SAVED my life
Through a miracle
When I was 22
“My salvation
And my honor
DEPEND on God
He is my might rock
He is my refuge” Psalm 62:7
So many people
Have ENCOURAGED me-
I do my best
To try and encourage
All others
“Leave your fatherless children
I will
KEEP them alive
Your widows too
Can DEPEND on me” Jeremiah 49:11
GOD HELPS all those
Who NEED his help
Who depend
On his strength
“The Lord
Gives STRENGTH to his people
The Lord BLESSES his people
With peace” Psalm 29:11
“For the foolishness of God
Is WISER
Than human wisdom
And the weakness of God
Is stronger than
Human strength” 1 Corinthians 1:25
Look at where you are
In life
Look at where
You want to be
It can be so overwhelming
But when you think
Of GOD'S STRENGTH
Carrying you there
I know I can
Make it
Because I look to
Where I have already been
And I look
To WHERE God
Has already taken me
And I KNOW
He can carry you there too
GOD'S STRENGTH IS LIMITLESS
“Even to your old age
And gray hairs
I am he
I am he
Who will SUSTAIN you
I have made you
And I will CARRY YOU
I will sustain you
And I will rescue you” Isaiah 46:4
RELYING-IN HIS STRENGTH
We can make it
Through anything and everything
And REJOICE in the Lord
