#NEED THE STRENGTH TO UNCLUTTER FULL#

There is a reset that takes place in our hearts when we worship and wait on the Lord.Īfter worship our attitude changes, even when our circumastances don’t. You’ll notice that He will begin to supply what you lack. I want to encourage you to pray, fast, and seek His face if you’re needing His strength. We give Him praises and thanksgiving, and we wait for the response of His presence. With our worship, we serve God the best that we have to offer, a sacrifice of praise.

Through this act, we exalt our God and praise Him for the attributes He has and the blessing that has been in our lives.

#NEED THE STRENGTH TO UNCLUTTER FULL#

In the same way, when we read the Scripture, we see that the Bible is full of examples of what is pleasing to the Lord. They ask what the customer wants, they bring it to them, and then they wait to see the response of the customer. Wait on God the same way a waiter waits on their customers. The Scripture says waiting on Him will cause our strength to be renewed. Learn to wait on the Lord during this time, by trusting in His promises. Waiting on God is not easy, but His path is always the most rewarding. He knows the thoughts you have and the season you’re in. Wait upon the Lord: worship, pray, abide.īut those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.

If your spouse doesn’t want to serve God, don’t rely on them for stability, strengthen yourself in God and cling to Him. If we draw near to God in search of strength, we will bask in His grace and we’ll find that it’s all we need. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness… 2 Corinthians 12:9 When the Apostle Paul found Himself in need, the Bible tells us he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord told Him, Israel called his God “The Strength of Jacob.” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Make God the Source who you run to and receive from. Don’t mask your need for God’s strength by trying to fill it with other temporary distractions. God desires to be the source of your strength not for you to find it in your marriage, health, finances, or even your education. It will always be more fulfilling and long-lasting when we go to the Lord to supply what we are lacking and then to others. If we constantly rely on others or rely on earthly pleasures to supply what we lack emotionally or spiritually, then we will always fall short of true stability and comfort that only comes from Christ. During times like this, the easiest tendency for most of us is to run to those closest to us for strength and comfort.Īlthough that’s easy to do and even recommended at times, that cannot be what we rely on as the sole source of our motivation. We all go through seasons of discouragement. Look to God as the source of your strength. Someone once said, “Faith must pass the test of discouragement.” As you apply these 4 steps, I pray that your faith would be strengthened and that God would realign your vision for the plans He has in store for your life. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Whatever the source of your discouragement, be reminded of the words God spoke to Joshua as He looked towards the Jordan river: Perhaps you find yourself facing needs in your life that can only be met miraculously, or perhaps you’ve experienced the loss of a close friend or family member. As he looked at his shortcomings, and the people’s constant needs, Joshua felt a deep fear and discouragement. He was faced with the huge task of being the new leader of the Israelites after Moses’s death. There was a point in Joshua’s life where His calling from the Lord was being developed.
