CHRIST is your firm foundation and your ever-present strength.  The strength of the LORD for you will never run dry.  You must embrace this idea and never think there is “not enough” for you.  

HIS STRENGTH IS NEVER INSUFFICIENT

Because of who GOD is, HIS character and omnipotence, HIS strength in HIS grace in us is ever-present for us.

I have been in situations recently where I have needed HIS all-sufficient strength because mine was depleted.  This can be a physical situation, mental or a heart and mind issue.  

2 CORINTHIANS 12:  9  “BUT HE SAID TO ME, “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.”

My physical situation has been how well I will tolerate a new medication.  It can make you feel nauseated and just not quite right.  I have often sat in my car and asked GOD to give me HIS strength to go into Church and lead our serving team well and to help me be strong enough to stand on my feet throughout the service. But what I love is at the end of the service, I think, wow, how did I do that?  I never even noticed how I was feeling a couple of hours ago. HE carried me through and I was unaware of it.  HIS grace and strength were there for me!

PSALM 86:  6   “GIVE EAR, O LORD, TO MY PRAYER; LISTEN TO MY PLEA FOR GRACE.  IN THE DAY OF MY TROUBLE I CALL UPON YOU, FOR YOU ANSWER ME.”

Call upon CHRIST and know that HE is there with HIS all-sufficient grace and power for you.  HE is never NOT there or will answer with a NOT ENOUGH of what you need from HIM!  That is impossible because our GOD is ALL POSSIBLE!  HE is all-sufficient.  HE gives you just enough of whatever you need and cry out to HIM!  HE never turns from our cries.

And ponder this:  it is necessary for us to have a deep need so that we deeply need HIS all-sufficient strength.  Otherwise how will we ever know our gracious GOD?

When we are weak we are strong then……..in HIM!  And HIS power and strength is like nothing on this earth.  Because nothing is impossible with GOD!  We can trust this with all the strength of our hearts……

PSALM 73:  26   “MY FLESH AND MY HEART MY FAIL, BUT GOD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER.”

We may fail, but HE does not.  My heart may be broken and fail, but HE is my strength there too!  GOD is all-sufficient!  Remember that every day of your life and then glorify HIM in that all-sufficient grace and love given to you!

PSALM 18:  1-2  “I LOVE YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH.  THE LORD IS MY ROCK AND MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER, MY GOD, MY ROCK, IN WHOM I TAKE REFUGE…….”
