This afternoon i co-led an after school club. We looked at the story of Abraham and Sarah and focused on how Abraham relied on God for strength, and that with God anything is possible.
This got me thinking, how often do we turn to Christ for strength? Is it just me or do we sometimes go off and do our own thing and forget where our strength comes from.
The verse we also looked at today was: 'I can do all things through Him who strengthens me' Philippians 4:13
I love this verse and I know that God is speaking to me through this verse. I find myself trying to get by some weeks on my own strength, and i realize that I just cant do it. After a week trying to live off my own strength i fall flat on my face, i feel exhausted, i want to give up and i just don't see the point. And every time this happens, God brings me back to the above verse.
I urge you, therefore, brothers and sisters to trust in the Lord your God and rely on His strength each day.

Thanks for the encouragement, verse, and much-needed reminders my friend. I'm so glad you're blogging :) You're not alone when it comes to trying to do everything on your own strength. Man, God is so much bigger though and He is so good to us. Keep on seeking Him and doing what you're doing. Proud of you!
