THE DAILY BREAD:
FINDING STRENGTH IN GOD:
SOCCER PLAYER CHRISTIAN PULISIC FACED SEVERAL INJURIES THAT INFLUENCED HIS CAREER. After learning he wouldn't be in the starting lineup of the Champions League semifinals game, he was disappointed, [to say the least], but he described how God revealed Himself to him. "As always, I reach out to God, and He gives me strength, "he said. "I feel like I always have Someone who's with me. I don't know how I would do any of this without that feeling." Pulisic ultimately made a momentous impact when he was substituted later in the game. He initiated a clever play that led to the game-winning shot and secured their spot in the championship. These experiences taught him a valuable lesson: we can always view our weaknesses as opportunities for God to reveal His immeasurable power.
The world teaches us to rely on our own strength when encountering problems. However, biblical wisdom teaches us that God's grace and power give us strength in the most trying circumstances (2 CORINTHIANS 12:9). Therefore, we can move in confidence, recognizing that we never face trials alone. Our "weaknesses" become opportunities for God to reveal His power, strengthening and supporting us (vv. 9-10). We can then use our struggles to offer praise to God, giving thanks for His goodness and sharing these concerns with others so that they can come to experience His love.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(READ: 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9, and REVELATION 5:5) ALSO V.6).
DAILY WORD:
PROTECTION:
GOD WITHIN is my STRENGHT and my SHIELD. I AM POWEFULLY PROTECTED.
AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE, I will have hopes and fears, joys and sorrows. There will be times I sail right through and times I will need every ounce of courage I can muster -up to take even a single step. This ebb and flow is part of being human.
Each situation becomes easier to face when I remember that all of life is happening through God, and God is with and within me. With God, I am never alone and never without options and possibilities.
I remember I have overcome my prior challenges through the power of indwelling Spirit, making me stronger and mor capable with every trial. I imagine the presence of God within as impenetrable armor around me. I am strong, powerful, capable, and protected.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into and are safe. (PROVERBS 18:10).
