GROW STRONG IN YOUR WEAKNESS. Some of My children I’ve
gifted with abundant strength and stamina. Others, like you, have
received the humble gift of frailty. Your fragility is not a punishment, nor
does it indicate lack of faith. On the contrary, weak ones like you must
live by faith, depending on Me to get you through the day. I am
developing your ability to trust Me, to lean on Me, rather than on your
understanding. Your natural preference is to plan out your day, knowing
what will happen when. My preference is for you to depend on Me
continually, trusting Me to guide you and strengthen you as needed.
This is how you grow strong in your weakness.
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend
a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know
what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a
little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will,
we will live and do this or that.”
JAMES 4 : 13 – 15
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and
do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
PROVERBS 3 : 5 (AMP)
Do you not know?
Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends
of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can
fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those
who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
ISAIAH 40 : 28 - 31
