| | Hey people!
You know when you wake up and have absolutely no energy at all? Today is exactly like that. Now, you know when you pray for some strength, just enough to get through the day? And God answers...and he gives you enough to not only get you throught the day, but enough to be almost as peppy as a cheerleader (not quite that much, because only special people can handle that much energy and I would think that they are where God's extra energy might come from sometimes...). So yeah, I can really understand what it means to lean on the Lord's strength. Normally, I bulldoze my way through the day and do okay and am proud that I did it all. Catch that? ->-> I <-<- did it all. My prayers even reflect this thought: "God, help ME to be strong for you." Who am I to be strong for the Lord? Instead, I am going to pray like this: "God, show your strength through me and empower with your strength." That is leaning on the Lord's strength. Setting your own aside, even though you might be able to do something. God can do it better with his strength. Even my limbs feel as though they are dead. Its almost like being at physical peace. I feel like I'm regenerating my own strength, even though I know I should be burning energy throughout the day. If this is truly leaning on God for strength, I want to do this all the time. Even my thoughts are more controlled, ordered, and powerful. I know its not me, I couldn't even do any of this without him. (Lots of writing I know...)
I'm thinking that whoever read all of that up there deserves a good laugh now. Click here to watch an awesome video.
Watch the whole thing, and feel sorry for the comedian.
Love from my heart,
Eric
