My Strength vs God’s Strength

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope and pray you’re doing well.🌸


Philippians 4:12–13

12. 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.

13. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

The song I’m hearing as I write is Whitney Houston’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” The song says—

I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to, I
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength

Lyrics: LyricFind


You know how sometimes you need a release and don’t know you need one. Well, I guess that time is now because the tears are flowing. I have no idea where they’re coming from. At this moment, I’m exhaling and leaning on God’s strength. I’ve been leaning on my strength for much too long and I’m tired. It’s funny because I hadn’t realized that I was doing it. I thought I was relying on God’s strength, but for a while it’s been mine. Today, I’m letting go. I’m releasing everything into God’s hands. Amen


Whose strength are you relying on? Yours or God’s?

I pray it’s God’s. Rest in Him and let Him be your strength.

I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day. May God grant you peace, love, and joy.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
