God must be the source of our strength. On our own, life is too hard. We get tired. We give up. We fail. But when we trust in him, are able to keep going. Our strength is renewed. What we cannot face on our own, we endure because our strength comes from him.
God’s goodness and strength is bigger than our weaknesses and failures.
Humans are hardwired to worship something. We are designed to recognize something that is greater than ourselves, and honor that something. In the process, we hope this something (whatever we worship) will be able to make our lives better. We believe it will protect us, satisfy us, and watch over us. The problem arises when we start worshipping something other than God. Â
Just because an ingredient doesn’t taste good on its own, doesn’t mean it won’t contribute to something wonderful in the end.
If we don’t want to forget an appointment, we put it on our calendar. When we need to remember everything for vacation, we write a packing list. When we are trying to recall what happened last decade, we might look back at old pictures. So what do we do if we are having a hard time remembering God’s goodness?
