I was reading my daily bible study material from Girlfriends in God and today, they asked us to treat our faith like our addiction for a morning cup of coffee or tea.
We should yearn for the warmth and the energy that God brings just like we yearn for the first cup of coffee every morning.
While excessive caffine is bad for the body, we can never get too much of God.
In fact, most of the time we do not get enough.
When I wake up feeling tired and weary every morning, I snooze my alarm clock when I could simply have prayed to God for strength and be very certain that strength is exactly what he will grant me.
Not just strength to help me wake up, not just strength to walk me through the 1st hour, but strength that will stay in me and keep me up for the rest of the day, against what ever challenges I may face.
THAT is the strength that the Lord provides, and no additional 5 minutes or even 1 hr or snoozing can compare to that.
It’s week 11 in a day’s time.
3 weeks – 1 paper due, 1 quiz, 1 take-home exam, 2 presentations and the big one after week13. Not to mention the tuitions and the driving lessons.
I need the strength from God more than anything now because he had guided me through so much, I know only He can bring me through what is about to come.
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
(Isaiah 40:29-31, NIV)
Dear God, You have brought me through so many challenging times. Please give me a fresh shot of faith that equips me to live today in Your strength. Help me to trust You, and keep me from leaning on my own understanding.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
