KEEP REACHING=FOR HIS STRENGTH

 

KEEP REACHING=FOR HIS STRENGTH

(From vacation)

 

Did you ever NOTICE

That when things=go wrong

IN LIFE=or even just

During our normal activities

That God is our stronghold

That Jesus

IS OUR STRONGHOLD

 

They are who

GETS US THROUGH

 

So KEEP

REACHING FOR HIS STRENGTH

The strength

Of the Lord our God

And his Son=Jesus Christ

 

“O MY STRENGTH=for you I watch

For you=O God

ARE MY STRONGHOLD

 

You have been=MY STRONGHOLD

My refuge=

In the day of distress”                                                                                                                      Psalm 59:10, 17b

 

There have been

MANY DAYS of distress

For most of us

The LAST couple of years

 

COVID=our political unrest

Our civil unrest

Our racial divisions=none of us

Seem particularly HAPPY any more

 

BUT KEEP STRONG

In God the Father

And in Jesus

They are our strengths

KEEP REACHING

FOR HIS STRENGTH

 

“The Lord=IS MY STRENTH

And my defense-

He has become my salvation”                                                                                                        Exodus 15:2

 

“The Lord

IS MY STRENGTH=and my defense

He has become my salvation”                                                                                                       Psalm 118:14

 

“For the foolishness=of God

Is wiser

Than human wisdom

 

And the weakness of God

Is STRONGER THAN HUMAN STRENGTH”                                                                             1 Corinthians 1:25

 

What we need to do

Is watch every day

FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD

He is present

IN our every day activities

 

KEEP REACHING OUT

For the Lord’s STRENGTH

He carries us=when we

CANNOT carries ourselves

Any longer

 

Dear Lord=we pray

That we=have you

IN our thoughts today

And that we SHARE

YOUR STRONGHOLD in us

By reaching out to others

 

“We=WHO ARE STRONG

Ought to bear=with the failings

Of the weak=and not to

Please ourselves”                                                                                                                      Romans 15:1

 

Dear Lord=HELP US to be strong

IN YOUR STRENGTH

And offer special kindnesses=to others

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=0f our FOREVER STRONG=Holy Father God!
