"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
I found this scripture comforting today. A day where I find the ground beneath me shaky and weak. A day that I am reminded that my strength doesn't come from within me, but from within the God who dwells in me. It is in HIM that I find my rest, it is in HIM that I can build my fortress when the world doesn't seem very stable. One thing I've learned the last 10 years or so is that some days I'm not going to feel very confident or strong and that's ok. Some days I may just be a little off, maybe a little emotional or maybe just physically run down. In these days I turn to my Father and simply ask for an extra helping of His blessings for the next day so that I can continue to do His call in my life. But I don't waste time beating myself for feeling weak or at the end of my rope in a situation or in life. I think the world can do enough beating for the both of us. Instead you can turn to His word and read scriptures like this one today and know our God has us craddled in His arms and will rock us just as a mother with a newborn until our soul quiets and we can regain all that we lacked today in the tomorrows.
Are you feeling not quite yourself? Maybe struggling with a situation or relationship and feel you're simply on sinking ground? Are the rains of life pouring down so hard that sometimes you just want to give up because all your strength is gone? Give yourself a moment, give yourself a slice of time to allow the Father to scoop you up in His arms and say to you: I am your rock, I am your fortress, I am your strong tower in which you can hide yourself in. Today let me be your God, let me be your Abba Father and allow me to give you strength for your tomorrow.
Blessings,
Heather
