God Can Make You Strong

[Christ4Ever]

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. (2 Chronicles 15:7)​

God had done great things for King Asa and Judah, but yet they were a feeble folk. Their feet were very tottering in the ways of the Lord, and their hearts very hesitating, so that they had to be warned that the Lord would be with them while they were with Him, but that if they forsook Him He would leave them. They were also reminded of the sister kingdom, how ill it fared in its rebellion and how the Lord was gracious to it when repentance was shown. The Lord’s design was to confirm them in His way and make them strong in righteousness. So ought it to be with us. God deserves to be served with all the energy of which we are capable.

If the service of God is worth anything, it is worth everything. We shall find our best reward in the Lord’s work if we do it with determined diligence. Our labor is not in vain in the Lord, and we know it. Halfhearted work will bring no reward; but when we throw our whole soul into the cause, we shall see prosperity. This text was sent to the author of these notes in a day of terrible storm, and it suggested to him to put on all steam, with the assurance of reaching port in safety with a glorious freight.

greetings in the Lord;
I so much enjoy these devotionals. I say thank you.

When we are weak, HE is strong. amen.

It is a good thing to think not more highly of ourselves then we ought to think. How can God use a proud and high minded people?

But, kept; staying humbly placed before God's throne. Yes, Lord, I am still here; forever seeking your wisdom and understanding; waiting for your instruction. For Lord I know nothing, but that, which you unveil; shining your amazing Light upon your grace. Amen

I so much enjoy these devotionals. I say thank you.

For as they have brought me joy I had hoped that others too would find in them this joy.
For your joy is my joy dear sister.

But, kept; staying humbly placed before God's throne. Yes, Lord, I am still here; forever seeking your wisdom and understanding; waiting for your instruction. For Lord I know nothing, but that, which you unveil; shining your amazing Light upon your grace. Amen

Yours words in themselves are humbling, and ones I have needed. TY
