IN THE STRENTH OF THE LORD.

Psalm 31:24

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

There are things that we can do alone; there are others we will need friend's help. There are others, however, we can not do alone or with friend's help, but God can do, and for those, what is left for us is to fight entrusted in the strenth that comes from Him. It is for these, that the psalmist calls people to keep the heart strengthened and to have the disposal to fight in the strenth of the Lord. Life can be compared to a battle field, once a good part of our achievements are resolts of many struggles. sometime we go out winners and others defeated, the reasons are many, but some say that knowing your enemy is the key. However, the most important is to know oneself, your potencials and limitations. Than your relantionship with God will make a diference, because those who wait on yourself will end up dismayed and defeated, for many times the enemy is stronger. The psalmist's word is not for those who wait on yourself, but for those who wait on the Lord. To those, even if the enemy is stronger, the word is of encouragement, because the strenth of those who wait on God does not come from yourself, but from God. Isaiah says even the youths grow tired and weary, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strenth. Do not dismay when your struggle is more than you can bear. Keep your heart strengthened, for the Lord is your strenth.
