DIVINE STRENGTH
Text: Psalm 33:16-19
By: Adeaga O. Favour
A weak man is limited in his activity compared to a strong person who has the tendency of greater productivity. But then, how would you define a weak or strong man? The weak, by man's standard, is one limited by strength while the strong person is the opposite.
But Biblically, the strong man is one who, though physically weak, has learned to lean on God's ability while the weak man is the physically strong who ends up exhausting strength after much labour. Isa 40:30 tells us the youth known for strength faint eventually while Phil 4:13 says through strength from Christ, one can do all things.
The Psalmist understood this principle that he said "There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength," Ps 33:16. Top connections and great strength do not guarantee success, total dependence on God is the key to a lasting relevance.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
Every human is limited, only God remains unlimited.
PRAY:
Lord, I receive grace for an absolute dependence on You in Jesus' name.
