If
you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.
– Proverbs 24v10
We read
a lot in the word of God about facing hard times and dealing with
difficulties. The reason is obvious. Life is tough and we can't
afford to quit when we face opposition.
This is
not real complicated. If we faint in the day of adversity our
strength is indeed small. Our strength is small because we depend on
the wrong strength. Our strength is small because, well our strength
is small.
So what
is the problem? We are depending on our strength instead of God's
strength. God delights in using the weak and foolish and base things
of this world to do His work. When we depend of God's strength
instead of ours we never have to worry about fainting in the day of
adversity.
We are
only human. We are weak. We fail because there is always something
bigger and stronger than we are. The battles of life not only seem
insurmountable, sometimes they are when we try to handle them
ourselves.
The
Lord God is our strength. He is the All-mighty One. In the days of
adversity His strength will never fail.
