Strength For The Journey

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries
 
Psalm 34:5 "I sought the Lord, Who answered me, delivered me from all my fears."

The Lord is strength for the journey of life. Fatigue and discouragement can assault us like a bandit on a deserted dirt road. Life is constantly swinging its bruising punches. Before long we can become beat down with no energy to continue. We know in our heads we are a child of the King, but our hearts feel no royal resilience. Fatigue requires faith.

Weariness is an opportunity for the Lord to strengthen you. He uses His people to energize and encourage one another. The Lord wraps His strength around the gift of a prayer warrior—someone who storms heaven on your behalf is a strength giver.

Work will get you down. People will let you down. Failure will knock you down. Your greatest fears may cause you to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. But God will strengthen your soul daily as you sit quietly before Him. His whisper of affirmation motivates you to walk with Him, to trust in Him. His spirit gives life and endurance.
