DAY 15 OF 15

God is the Strength of My Heart

Psalm 73:26

My mind and my body may become weak. But God is my strength. He is mine forever.

David was living at Ziklag with his family. One day he and his men went away on a mission. On the third day, when they returned to Ziklag, they found the Amalekites had raided Ziklag. Everyone, including David's family, was taken away. To make it worse, his men blamed David for this and threatened to stone him. It must have been very distressing for David when people started to blame him unjustly while he himself had to deal with the grief of missing his family. The first thing that David did was to find strength in the Lord. He prayed and sought God in order to renew his strength and ask for God's guidance on what he should do.

Just like in David's case, has God become the first Person you come to when you are feeling sad or down? Do not allow yourself to dwell in your sadness.

When you are in distress, seek God and reconnect with Him to get the strength that you need! 

Prayer

Dear God, I may fail many times due to my weaknesses. But I know I can find my strength in You. Amen.
