God Give Me Strength

All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.  We also pray that you will be strengthened with all His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.  Colossians 1:10-11

With the push to save our environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I have started seeing electrical charging stations for cars that run off of rechargeable batteries popping up everywhere.

Just like a rechargeable battery, we also need to tap into sources of power to find our strength to persevere through life.    We are all unique in the fact that we all have an unlimited power source in God, as believers.  You see, God is working in and through each of us, at all times.

The more we become obedient and in tune with God, His power will strengthen us and ignite our ability to persevere; not just survive, but persevere with great joy!

Thanks be to God!!

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

I look up toward the hills.  From where does my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth!  The Lord is your protector; the Lord is the shade at your right hand.  The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night.  Psalm 121:1-2,5-6

Have you ever wondered why we sometimes experience unrest when we are alone?  Some people in desperation move in and out of relationships to fill the void of emptiness.  Others fill the void with substances like drugs and alcohol.  In my journey, I have been guilty of all of the above until I realized that I was created to be in fellowship with God.  In fact, all of us are created to be in fellowship with our loving Father.

Simply put, God did not make us to go through life on our own; He wants us to have relationships with other people, but the number one relationship He wants us to enjoy is one with Him.  When we attempt to have our needs met apart from God, our efforts are futile and lead only to major disappointment and despair.  God is the only One who is capable of filling the emptiness of the human heart.

Only God can meet our deepest longings and needs for the love that we all need.
