Strength When Needed

Just because we don't feel strong when we think about a situation does not mean that we won't be strong when we need to be. God's strength comes to us by His grace, through our faith, but He rarely gives us the strength we need before we actually need it. In this way we must trust Him, which is our part. He asks us in His Word to trust Him, and as we do, He does the part we cannot do.

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
--- Ephesians 6:10

My own reflection on this Thought:
* When I was at my college, studying Accounting, I could never imagined myself doing the stockbroker job. I thought that it might be too hard for me.
But, once I became a stockbroker in Jakarta Stock Exchange, suddenly there's a new strength to make me carry on. I believe it's from God, because I myself wouldn't have enough strength to do so.

Lots of things are like my experience. We're so afraid of a situation, we thought it's too difficult for us to handle. One thing that we should always remember that if God has given something to us, He will give us the strength as well. So, don't worry, He'll show us the way and give His strength whenever He thinks we need it.
