He Who Gives Me Strength

I haven't been feeling well since last Thursday..have had colds and have been coughing recently..the changing weather and climate may be the culprit but I think I'll throw in stress & lack of rest/sleep in the bag, too..I don't blame it all on the weather or on the devil (who's only here to steal my strength, productivity & joy)..I can also say I have my share of neglect & overwork..

But I thank God for His grace & promises..He is my Healer, my Strength, my Joy. And how glad am I to have been kept reminded of His Word:

(Philippians 4:12-13) "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

I know how it is to be full of energy & live out every ounce of strength there is in me as if there's not going to be any tomorrow..I know how it is to have plenty or be full..& for those times, I am truly grateful..but to have experienced lack or sickness, I am humbled for I know I am nothing without Christ. For these humbling times, I know I am abundantly blessed because I have a great big God who assures me of His love, blessings, provisions, forgiveness & redemption.

God bless us all!
