Dearly Beloved,
I have, like all of you, experienced what today’s devotional is all about–dependence on the power of God each and every day. What I found interesting is the fact that power is given to those who ask and in the amount needed to complete the tasks set before them. This past
Sunday, I needed a LOT of power and stamina to complete the courses set before me. I truly felt your prayers and the power of God sustaining me and getting me to and through the finish line. Go God! Today is no different. I will need and will call upon God to get me through this evening and all that it entails. I know I won’t be alone–you’ll be here, God will be here and all of our wonderful veterans, both on earth and in heaven, will be here as well. It’s going to be a beautiful night. Blessings, Scott

Do Not Let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of My Power I place at your disposal. You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality.
I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly. The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual. Look to me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do. As your days, so shall your strength be.
Ephesians 1:18-20 18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms
Psalm 105:4 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Deuteronomy 33:25 (NKJV) 25 Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.
