God's Strength
Do You Ever Feel Fragile or Like You Might Pop?
Do you ever feel fragile or like you might explode because of the daily pressure you are under?
David knew what it was like to feel that way and found God to be the sustainer of his soul. Listen to his words in Psalm 54:4. “God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.”
What does it mean for God to be the sustainer of our soul?
It means that God revives our minds and emotions when we sit in His presence, meditate on His truths, and absorb encouragement from His Word.
God the Holy Spirit refreshes and sustains us so we can carry on rather than break or explode.
What story do you have of how God has been your sustainer? Think over the ways and write them in a prayer giving thanks to God.
Lord God, I praise You, SUSTAINER of my soul. Thank You for the many times and ways You sustain me. I love and praise You!

Do You Want More Strength?
An AT&T commercial once asked a group of children, “Who thinks more is better than less?” A little girl quickly responded, “We want more. We want more.”
We can identify with her plea for more when we’re going through a difficult time. We want more of God’s strength. We want more of God’s grace to get us through our day. The truth is, we already have it. Second Corinthians 12:9 reassures us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
What does it mean that God’s grace is sufficient? Does it mean barely enough? No. Rather, the Biblical word means, “to be possessed of unfailing strength, to be strong, to be enough.”
God’s strength is the answer to our cries when we are weak. Call on Him. Yield to Him. Ask Jesus to fill and empower you. He will.
Heavenly Father, thank You that when I’m weak, You respond to my cry for help. Thank You, that Your grace is SUFFICIENT.
