STRENGTH FOR OUR ENERGY GAP

Isaiah 35:3-4 With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees. Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies, He is coming to save you."

There used to be an old advert on TV that advertised chocolate Mars Bars saying that when you hit an energy gap mid afternoon then the jingle would come in and sing "a Mars a day will help you  work, rest and play!" Nobody had heard of an energy gap till then!!

Well I readily admit we do seem to hit a point sometimes when our energy and strength take a dive and seem to forget to come back up again, but having a chocolate bar every day might not be a good idea!!

Instead scripture tells us to say "Let the weak say I am strong", it says to say "I'm strong in the Lord and in the power of His might",  to "call on the Lord for He is our strength and shield", that "the joy of the Lord is our strength."

No doubt there are many more verses on strength but they all point us away from ourselves to the Lord Himself, who is our source of strength. We can't manufacture it ourselves.

So if or when your strength is at a low ebb at any point this week, take a few moments out and draw on the Lord, see yourself being replenished supernaturally straight from His throne of grace. I know of one lady who used to say "Imagine your head has a lid which is open and see God pouring into you whatever it is you need, then close the lid."  Now you may laugh but sometimes a visual picture helps us doesn't it?😊

God is our source and He's only too willing to supply whatever we might need. His mercies are new every morning, so let's go to Him in faith today and start receiving His fresh supply of new energy and strength. Thank You Lord.
