The Strength of Ten People

Therefore, the LORD God, the holy one of Israel, says: In return and rest you will be saved; quietness and trust will be your strength.

—Isaiah 30:15

Are you good about lifting weights to strengthen your upper body or to give some tone to the rest of you? Do you meditate and pray to strengthen your soul and your spirit? Bravo for you if you do these things. But most of you only have friends who do these things.

Think about what you admire about a strong person. Some people you know have a kind of Samson strength where they can lift nearly anything, but they are still foolish about the way they conduct their lives. Some people have a deep resolve, an inner strength, that tells you not to mess with them at all because they know who they are and have unshakable faith.

You may not often feel like you have the strength of ten men, but God knows your potential. He knew how to build you and create a strength in you that is undeniable. It doesn't depend on you, it depends on him. Whenever you are weak, God is strong. Show him your spiritual muscles today.

In the Flow

Lord, thank you for the strength you continue to give me. Raise me up past my weaknesses, to become stronger in you. Amen.
