Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1 Chronicles 28:20<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Then David said to Solomon his son, \u201cBe strong and courageous and do it.

Be strong, let not your heart faint, be courageous, do not be afraid, fear not, He will come and save you, wait for the Lord, stand firm, Him who strengthens me \u2026.. in what, for what reason, and why does scripture remind and exhort us continually? It is common for every one of us, no matter how mentally and physically strong we are to become weakened by a single event or over time by life\u2019s endless way of burdening us.\u00a0 <\/span>We are going through life with strength and purpose and then all of a sudden we notice that strength we once had, that faithful hope we once relied upon, and that solid foundation we stood upon, is severely weakened or absent and we no longer find peace, joy, strength, and courage.\u00a0 <\/span>This happens and I am not sure what is worse, getting blindsided with a punch in the gut or just slowly losing all strength and courage.\u00a0 <\/span>When blindsided at least there is an event we can put things into perspective but when there is a continually wearing down of our foundational strength it seems this is worse.\u00a0 <\/span>Life has a way of, abruptly or over time, lessening our resolve, strength, confidence, and courage.\u00a0 <\/span>Battles we easily overcame now seem to be defeating us.\u00a0 <\/span>Could it be we are strong in many areas of our life and God is just showing us and leading us and teaching us that there is still more refining in us that needs to be done?\u00a0 <\/span>Could it be we have become neglectful or complacent? Could it be we have chosen to follow worldly passions over Godly pursuits?\u00a0 <\/span>Could it be we have hardened our hearts and minds to the things of God?\u00a0 <\/span>Whatever the reason our eyes need to focus on Jesus and our hope strengthened in Him alone.\u00a0 <\/span>When our hope is in His strength, power, and love, and we have surrendered all hope and trust in ourselves, it is then we will become strengthened, encouraged, and full of hope.\u00a0 <\/span>When we are weak He is strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
