Where does your strength come from?

Do you ever find moments where it seems like all energy is gone but your list of tasks keeps growing? There are times when conditions just aren’t ideal, but the work must continue. We must continue in life despite lack of sleep, continuous needs, and that 5th cup of coffee isn’t really working. We knew the season would be busy and most everything was planned for, but how do we muscle through?  Psalm 28:7 says, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;” We don’t have to rely on our strength to get through our work/ministry. We look to him, because he gives us the strength to endure and the help to finish. When we don’t do that, we end up collapsing because we extend ourselves beyond what we can give and beyond what our abilities are. He knows what you need, so ask Him! He gives us strength in the moments planned and unplanned. Whether it’s surviving that last meeting of the day, preparing one more Bible study/message, lasting that final hour between supper being finished and the kids going to bed, He gives us strength!
