Friday, May 6

[God] will make you firm, he will make you strong.—1 Pet. 5:10.

 

The runners in the Greek games had to overcome challenges, such as tiredness and pain. But all they had to rely on was their training and their own strength. We are like those runners in that we receive training in how to run the race we are in. But we have an advantage over the literal runners. We can draw on an unlimited source of power. If we rely on Jehovah, he promises not only to train us but also to make us strong! The apostle Paul had to deal with many challenges. In addition to being insulted and persecuted by others, he at times felt weak and he had to cope with what he called “a thorn in the flesh.” (2 Cor. 12:7) But rather than view those challenges as a reason for giving up, he saw them as an opportunity to rely on Jehovah. (2 Cor. 12:9, 10) Because Paul adopted this viewpoint, Jehovah helped him through all his trials. w20.04 29 ¶13-14

Someone once said, if you give Jehovah your best, he will do the rest.  Jehovah has always made me strong when I thought I couldn’t carry on, This scripture is on that I have embedded in my heart and mind. What a wonderful reminder to start this rainy day

As we go deeper into these last days things can often "loom over us" making us wonder if we are strong enough to endure? Never underestimate the strength of Jehovah and what he promises to give us. On our own power we will fail, that's why it's all the more important to build our faith and trust in Him!

Sometimes the help from Jehovah isn't what we expected.

Best "personal" training ever!
