S-TEA-rength

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13, NASB)
So many scriptures deal with the availability of God's strength---so why do I forget to appropriate it immediately? Why do I exhaust my own strength and then consider Him? Why is it sometimes hard to cry out to Him? Do I need to tattoo, "in my weakness, He is strong" on my forehead?
God's Word clearly says that His strength is there for the taking---maybe accepting is a better word choice.

His strength is offered.....
  • every morning (Isaiah 33:2) 
  • for renewal (Isaiah 40:31) 
  • for the weak (Isaiah 40:29) 
  • for help in trouble (Psalm 46:1) 
  • to the weary soul (Psalm 119:28) 
  • and is sufficient to handle insults, hardships, persecutions & difficulties (2 Corinthians 9:10) 
  • through his Spirit for one's inner being (Ephesians 3:16) 
  • along with His power (Ephesians 6:10) 
  • for everything (Philippians 4:13) 
In everything, He's there (Phil. 4:19)....including strength---
---which friend Ann can certainly attest to
these last six months.
I need to sip a cuppa HIS s-TEA-rength daily. Certainly, casing to strive in my own strength will enhance my joy in Him. (Nehemiah 8:10)
