The Blessing of Strength:

                         "May your bolts be of iron and bronze; may your strength endure through all your days." (Deuteronomy 33.25)

                         This promise assures us that life will not leave us like an empty reservoir or a dry well. As the demands of each day, so shall our inner resources of strength be to make us equal to any situation. (Dick Mills)

                         Today Lord I feel empty and depleted of energy and the necessary resources to continue with life's journey. Your promise from Deuteronomy give me hope and encouragement. "I lift up my eyes toward the mountains; whence shall help come to me? My help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121.1-2)
