HOW TO LIVE STRONG

REFERENCE:  Psa. 105 4-5 Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. 5 Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given.

Observation:  How do we get the strength we need when we are feeling weak?

• Search for the Lord (reach out to find God, pursue Him with all your heart). We should make being close to Him our greatest concern.
• Know that it is His strength, not ours that matters. We should be not so much asking Him to make us strong, as we are asking Him to let us live in His strength.
• Keep up the search (stay desperate, and don't quit asking).
• Don't forget what He has done for us (it is in remembering what He has done in the past that we can believe for the future).
  

Application/Confession: I need to learn better how to live in His strength. I know that He has done great things in my life, I need to constantly remind myself of them. This, I know, is a great source of peace and faith.

PRAYER: God--may your strength be mine today. May I never forget all that you have done--you have performed miracles in my life and I must never forget that!
