We can go through any challenge we face in life with God’s strength. For it is His strength that makes us strong enough to overcome anything we’re going through. “It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect.” (Psalm 18:32) NKJV
Sometimes our troubles will come at us from every direction. It can be a teacher that’s mistreating our child, a noisy neighbor, or a supervisor that just doesn’t like us. In spite of this, we can rely on God’s strength to help pull us through our troubles. With His strength, we can overcome any troubles that come our way. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) KJV
In life we will encounter many storms, some will be mild and others will be difficult. In times like these, we have to depend on God to give us the strength we need to battle our storms. With His strength we can overcome any storm in our lives. “The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.” (Psalm 29:11) KJV
Some of us may be dealing with serious health problems, such as COVID-19, cancer, stroke or a heart attack. Nevertheless, we have to hang in there and know that with God’s strength, we can overcome any sickness. “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” (Psalm 73:26) NLT
The devil knows our weaknesses and when we are vulnerable. That’s when he will come to tempt us to sin against God. We can’t resist him in our own strength, but we can with God’s strength. When we allow God’s strength to work through us, we can overcome any temptation the devil presents us with. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13) KJV
A lot of times we feel like we can stop our habits ourselves, only to find out, we keep doing them over and over again. We can’t do it in our strength, we have to have the help of the Lord. With His strength we can overcome any habit we have been struggling with. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.”(Psalm 28:7) KJV
So be encouraged today and always remember: We can trust God’s strength to help us overcome any thing because His strength never runs out. “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.” (Isaiah 26:4) KJV
