This has been an amazing week. Some day I may be able to share the whole story - but the short version is that recently, I have needed answers. And when reading a devo (which I posted earlier this week), I got the BIGGEST answer - that I needed to lean into God’s strength, not my own. Today as I was going to a doctor appointment to hopefully sort through things, the song “Strong Enough” by Matthew West was playing. I’ve heard it lots of times but not paid close attention. Here is what I heard as I went into the appointment:
“I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us”
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us”
For anyone who really knows me - those are not words that I say very often. I’m plenty strong!! I don’t need much help!! And to have such a clear understanding and realization that no matter what, God IS strong enough has been such a huge blessing!!
It doesn’t matter what we are going through. It’s okay to not be strong. God IS strong enough when we aren’t!! What a relief!!!
