Over the weekend I came across a scripture that really spoke to me. From the book of Judges (5:21) “Oh my soul march on in strength!” It was Deborah commanding herself to have courage even as the surrounding circumstances looked dire.
We can often be so overwhelmed by what is going on around us that we can feel almost paralyzed. That even looking at the situation takes all we have to just stand. But, for me what is important to notice here is that we are still standing. That even though difficult, we have tapped into our inner strength and have come out victorious. Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengths me”. This scripture is often my pep talk to myself, as well as a stone of remembrance. By documenting such an event we can go back and see just how the Lord got us through, not just once but many times. Periodically even using others to hold up our arms when we were finding it impossible to do so.
Is there someone that needs an encouraging word from you today? Who needs to cross that line from defeat to that place of victory? Since you know the way, I am certain that you can be of great help!
