Lord Give Me Strength

It is one of the greatest joys of my life to serve the Lord in the manner He has called me to serve this year -- as the Women's Ministry Leader at my home church. What a challenge it will be - - personally and spiritually. I will be stretched in my study, prayer and fellowship. But....thank You Lord. What an amazing, unexpected answer to one of my long held prayers.

Over and over I see how His Ways are so much higher than my ways, and His Thoughts eons above my thoughts. I am only something because He created me.

Why does it seem that with joy comes challenge? I am excited today about the ministry work I have to do, and at the same time, opposition unlike what i've faced before has presented itself in other areas of my life. I thank the Lord for His Word which is full of promises to which I cling, and safety to which I run.

The walk of salvation is miraculous. There is nothing like it. Learning to fully trust, rely and rest in The Lord comes as a result of never letting Him go, no matter where in the walk you find yourself.

May you fully experience the growth, servanthood and love that He has for you.
