I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13, NASB)
So many scriptures deal with the availability of God's strength---so why do I forget to appropriate it immediately? Why do I exhaust my own strength and then consider Him? Why is it sometimes hard to cry out to Him? Do I need to tattoo, "in my weakness, He is strong" on my forehead?
God's Word clearly says that His strength is there for the taking---maybe accepting is a better word choice.
His strength is offered.....
- every morning (Isaiah 33:2)
- for renewal (Isaiah 40:31)
- for the weak (Isaiah 40:29)
- for help in trouble (Psalm 46:1)
- to the weary soul (Psalm 119:28)
- and is sufficient to handle insults, hardships, persecutions & difficulties (2 Corinthians 9:10)
- through his Spirit for one's inner being (Ephesians 3:16)
- along with His power (Ephesians 6:10)
- for everything (Philippians 4:13)

| In everything, He's there (Phil. 4:19)....including strength--- ---which friend Ann can certainly attest to these last six months. |
I need to sip a cuppa HIS s-TEA-rength daily. Certainly, casing to strive in my own strength will enhance my joy in Him. (Nehemiah 8:10)
