October 25 “Our Daily Strength” Isaiah 33:2
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.” (Isaiah 33:2)
“I’m just tired!” It seems to me that this is a common response from so many people, today! Post COVID-19, and the ongoing aftereffects, Politics and the ugliness of its reality, have produced a common result, at least for me, and that is Fatigue! As I look at the situations that we are dealing with, and the challenges that we are called upon to handle, no wonder that we feel exhausted! Think about it… The Economy is struggling (Inflation, shortages, employment issues, open boarders, corruption at the highest levels of government), and it seems that we are having to work more just to keep up, and our society appears to be getting sicker and more perverse, and each one of us are facing personal and family dynamics that challenge us every day, and our “Fast Paced” technology driven culture leaves us “Tired” and there is that “Ever-Present” Daily News, that always provides the “Doom & Gloom” of our world! Wow! Just thinking about all that is happening make me tired! No wonder we are exhausted! In Psalm 29:11, the psalmist tells us that “The Lord will give strength to His people,” and I am claiming that provision and I am expecting His Amazing Grace to comfort me and to strengthen me, every single day! In this time of exhaustion and fatigue and weariness, God has promised that He would be our strength EVERY MORNING! I am grateful that I have the privilege and the blessing to go into His Word, every morning, and He Refreshes Me, Restores Me, Empowers Me, and Prepares Me for the Challenges Ahead! Regardless of the issues of this day, allow God’s Power and His Promises, to Encourage you, Protect you, Guide You, Sustain you, and to be your Comfort in times of exhaustion and challenges! He Promised – I Believe, and I am CLAIMING His Strength for the Challenges Ahead! How About You? Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
