Life… who can understand it fully? We do that which we think is the right thing to do, and sometimes we do it consistently, only to find ourselves in another difficult situation!
Whether it’s the kids going through the “terrible two’s”, or a teenager “losing their mind”, impossible goals at work, the plumbing in the house is leaking or the car broke down, again! These are all situations that can drain us, no matter how spiritually grounded we are. Sometimes we feel like we can’t “win for losing”.
It’s at these times that God wants us to understand that strength can only be gained through direct and timely stress on the “faith-muscle”. Just as a body builder works his muscles on a regular basis in order to win the prize in a competition, God wants to build us up for spiritual warfare, spiritual competition and spiritual wins!
The Bible tells us that we, in and of ourselves, can do nothing apart from Jesus Christ but with God all things are possible. It’s in these difficult times that we need to exercise faith in God’s Word, believing what He has told us, receiving the promises as our own and living confidently in those Words.
The Psalmist wrote: “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.” – Psalm 73:26
