His Strength

The Lord is my strength and shield in time of trouble. Psalms 28-7. I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. Christ paid a price for each of our lives. Life's struggles may be frustrating, but God's accomplishment upon the cross has made the provision for overcoming by His power any struggle we face in life.

Barrier Breaker
I entrust my Spirit in your loving hand, rescue me Lord, for you are a faithful Father. We are to recognize that He is greater than our problems. Even when these problems come and, they will, even then God has a plan of escape. We complicate His answer by trying to escape or by taking an easier way out.

I read a story of a butterfly who was encased in it's cocoon out in the woods. A passerby noticed the butterfly was trying to get out. He made the choice to help the butterfly escape, so he cut the cocoon and the butterfly fell out. The timing was too soon, for the wings were yet not fully developed.

We are not to fear God's timing. We do not need to have our own way to be happy. Waiting on God's timing is a key barrier breaker. The Lord is the light of my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of what shall I be afraid of. Psalms 27:1.

Barrier Breaker:
We must believe we will see God's goodness in the land of the living. The harder life is, the greater the freedom in Him. God will reward you for waiting on Him. ECC 3:11 Blessed is the man who puts their trust in the Lord. Ps 34-8.

The Lord gives us His living water when we are in a dry place. He supplies the ever flowing and ever lasting spring of water which helps us grow. He is the master gardener and attends to His garden where we never die. Is 58-11. Have faith and do not doubt. You can do all things in Him who gives you the strength you need.

Faith is what pleases Him. Give Him your very best all the time. You can move forward focus on His provision and not in people, places, nor things to meet your needs. God's loves never fails, Job 22-21 Stop and ask God for direction and He will direct your steps. If He keeps His eyes upon the sparrow how much more will He Strengthen you.

Poetry by the blog author

Little fragile birdie why can you not fly.
God wants to help you so you will not die.
Have you hurt yourself, or did someone else.
God wants your broken wings to heal.
He hears your cry there where you kneel.
Little fragile birdie no need to stagger,
No need to become a beggar.
Rest upon His healing hand.
He is your creator not man.
Little fragile birdie
trust that your tears he can see.
Then you'll be ready to fly and you'll be free.
