In The Strength Of The Lord

In conversation with a friend, he explained that if you know yourself then you know when you do something in your own strength.

You are familiar with your limitations and your exertions.  This is something you get an awareness of to such a degree that you take it for granted.

Until you are challenged by the strength of the Lord.

There is something about the strength of the Lord that goes beyond our natural strength.  It clearly is different to how we usually operate and in a number of cases enables us to do something we would not have otherwise been able to do.  Sometimes it’s an issue of strength we exert, and sometimes its a stamina to endure longer than we thought possible.

Those who experience operating in the strength of the Lord often relate how amazing it is to be have been able to achieve something they may not have achieved anyway.

The interesting question to consider is how much of our lives should be lived by the strength of the Lord?

For His Name’s Sake

Shalom
