Today, we are on Day 5 in the series on encouragement.

“Someone out there is running low on strength. It might even be you.

There are times in our race when we feel like we’ve been running uphill in the burning heat for miles. Your muscles and lungs burn, your knees are skinned from falling and your heart begins to lose hope.

Then, you remember.

You remember that you can’t win this race on your own. You remember that your strength isn’t enough. You remember the promise of the Lord: “I will strengthen you.”

It is vital to commit the word to your mind and heart daily so when these times of exhaustion threaten to count you out, the promise of God will strengthen you. Satan wants nothing more than for us to despair and drop out. Don’t quit. Rely on the strength that comes from God.

Commit this passage to your memory for times of weariness and waiting. At some point in the race, you will experience both.

You may be waiting for something today. Maybe you feel as though God has forgotten you.

Doubt is easy. Trust is hard.

God promises to strengthen us. Keep running and praying—He will sustain you!”—Taken from Elihu’s Corner
