Dryden Shorts: By His Strength

It is not done in my strength.

Carrying out the call is only effectively done in the strength of the Lord. Whenever I begin to rely on myself, I sense my pride in being able to handle it; that self-reliance as though my expertise suffices.

The folly of that thinking emerges soon afterwards. I eventually acknowledge my inadequacy and look to God, who gives the strength. As He infuses His wisdom and counsel so there is an ability to do.

I can do it only through the strength He gives.

For His Name’s Sake

Shalom

C. L. J. Dryden
