The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man…runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong.
God has equipped and anointed us to do hard things. He allows us to go through difficulty and to bring glory to Him. He shows Himself strong through us. He told Paul that His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We may think we can’t make it through difficulty, but those thoughts are inaccurate according to God’s Word. He has promised to never allow more to come on us than we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).
During life’s difficulties, one of the thoughts that is usually persistent is, I can’t do this; it is just too much; it is too hard. Watch out for that type of thinking, and when you recognize it, remember that it is a lie. Then replace it with God-inspired thoughts that are something like this: I can do what I need to do because God is strong in my life.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, when life feels too hard, help me remember that You are my strength. Replace my doubts with faith and fill me with courage to keep going, amen.
