Does it seem as though everything you try to do just doesn't make a dent in your problems? I was thinking the other day, no matter what we do we just cannot get ahead financially. They say there is a worker stress going on right now. The feeling that even if you are one of the lucky ones working, you really aren't going anywhere. People need to know that they have the feeling they are accomplishing something and that they are going forward. One man told me who is working three jobs to make up for the one he lost, he is physically and emotionally drained not to mention frustrated.
And the financial numbers are worsening unfortunately, the Summer of Recovery, just really didn't happen. Ceo's are saying the Obamacare, financial reform, and moratorium on offshore drilling are bad policies and are deterring business investment. The CEO'S are saying Obama has taken a stand against business. CEO'S are saying they were displeased with oil spill reaction. Or I would say next to nothing reaction. CEO'S say there is a fundamental lack of confidence, and not taking the right steps as a nation to show growth.
You really sometimes wonder how much more people can endure. There is a verse that came to me yesterday evening, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." KJV There is a spiritual side. There is a power in prayer, you can pray for increased strength, but this is a strength that comes from God, not yourself. His Strength. And the verse teaches us that this strength comes at a time of weakness. When we are at our end, when we have no more strength left inside of ourselves. In fact, this is where he wants us, to be relying on his strenghth, not our own. The arm of flesh will fail us, our humanness will fail us. It is hard to give up and say I can't do it anymore. And you can't, not of yourself. That is were he wants you, completely trusting and resting in him to supply your needs and your strength. There is a spiritual side of life. And without it we would all wither like the flower that fades in the heat of the day. But renews itself in the cool of the evening from the strength it gains from the moisture around it. He will renew your strength and give you grace to go on. He will make us to fly as Wings of Eagles. Trust in him today and ask him to renew your strength.
