Life seems to send some things our way that will cause our feet to fall out from underneath us. We can preach and teach about having faith but there seems to be those moments, though very few, that will have us sigh in desperassion.

Such was the case for me when I hung up the phone with my accountant. Though I have not even turned in my tax paper for her to figure for me she could already tell me the hole I would be digging myself out of. That's always encouraging.

There was a moment where I did more than sigh. I actually screamed out a little. But I find encouragment today in Ephesians 6:10 where the bible says,

"Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might".

I don't have to be strong all the time because I have a Heavenly Father who will be my strength for me. So when I feel weak that is when He comes along and makes me strong. All I have to do and all you have to do is simply trust that God is on your side working "all things out for the good".

It reminds me of a portion of a song I sang as a child:
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong they are weak but He is strong.

I can take comfort today because my strength doesn't come from my own body. It comes from God and why does He give me this strength? That's easy... because Jesus Loves Me!

Prayer: "God, provide for me the strength to make it through this day and this week."
