Topic: “LOOK FOR STRENGHT IN HIS WORD.”
Text: PSALMS 105:4
Memory Verse: Ps 105:4 – “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always”.
All across the nation are gyms for men and women work out in. People flock to the gyms in order to build themselves up. They want to strengthen their bodies to be in better health and to look better. While working out and strengthening the body does a lot of good for a person, it does not help his spirit, nor the long term emotions. Exercise does not give a person the strength needed to keep going forward correctly when things are going rough, when trouble hits hard.
During troubling times, most people look to many things to give them strength to keep going. They will seek work, friends, drugs, or other distractions to help them survive. Some will end it all in a loss of all hope. The writer of this psalm says that one needs to look to God’s strength and seek Him. God is the One who has created everything that there is. He is the One who holds everything together. He is the One who controls the storms in the physical world and can control the storms in a person’s life.
Along with having the strength and power to help, God is always there and available. The believer can seek God twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year, with no fear that God will be busy or not be available. There is nothing so big, that God cannot handle or bring a person through.
The things that the world looks at for strength are temporary and are not always available as God is available. The things of this world will fail in the end, but God will never fail. When you seek Him and find Him, you will now bear His presence and be strengthened.
PRAYER: Strengthen me through your words Lord. In all areas of my weakness, strengthen me for the task of the kingdom so that I will not be found wanting. Release your unfailing power on me and my household daily in Jesus’ name, Amen.
