His Strength

“Our work may require greater strength, greater knowledge or greater ability than we seem to possess, or there may greater demands made upon our purse than we can meet. Instead of accepting this apparent lack, let us remember, ‘He performeth the thing that is appointed for me. . . . The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me,’ or some other scriptural passage. The human belief may be that there is a physical, mental, moral, or financial demand made up us greater than our ability to fulfill; but the very moment we turn to that He that is within us, recognizing that He performeth that which is given us to do, He perfecteth that which concerneth us, a weight drops off our shoulders, and the sense of personal responsibility lifts. All of a sudden, are given the necessary ability, which we discover is not our ability at all; it is His ability being expressed through us. Out of our weakness comes strength, but not our strength; it is His strength, and we perform the work through His strength. If it is rest that we need, we turn to Scripture a find: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’”
