Strength is the power to resist attack, resist strain or stress, or the state of being strong.
Where does strength come from? Some may say, “Strength comes from within us!” I find this to be very doubtful. I feel that strength comes from Christ alone. Without Him and His strength I personally would not have the strength I need to make it daily!
2 Timothy 1:7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
About 7 months ago, the company I work for went through position changes. I was fortunate enough to get a promotion. I completely feel that God opened this door for me and I was gladly walking through it! I know without a shout of a doubt that this is right where God wants me. I tried so hard on my own to learn my new job and train others in their new positions as well. I tried but failed tremendously. It wasn’t until about 2 months ago that I had a revelation.
Think about a child with their parents begging for something, the parent not giving in and then the child decides to obey and stop begging. This is exactly what I sounded like. I distinctly remember telling God, “Okay! You gave this to me, You want me to give it back to You so that You can have complete control over this! If that is what You want, You can have it! I know this is right where You want me, I give this all to You! Use me!”
It wasn’t until then did everything fall into place. Now, I am not perfect by any means but it is through His strength daily that I get my tasks done daily. I have completely turned it over to Christ and He has given me the strength I need!
