The Man
that Hath No Strength
“ O LORD
God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come
before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles:
and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. I am counted with them that go down
into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength” (Psalms 88:1-4)
Today’s Morsel:
Have you ever found yourself feeling as though you have no strength to keep
going. Or maybe you have found yourself not even having enough strength
to cry. When I was a missionary living in Japan, myself and now
Missionary Fonzell Marsh decided to climb Mount Fuji. From the look of
that mountain, which the Japanese call Mr. Mountain, it looks as though it can
be easily conquered. But we came to realize that that mountain will
consume every ounce of strength you have if you have not prepared to climb
it. There were times during that climb that I wanted to go down as
quickly as I could. But what I found was that as I kept singing and
praising the Lord, I found the strength to carry on to completion. The
psalmist said that he was a man that had no strength. In other words, he
was weak. He had no power to resist anything. If he were to get
sick, he had no strength to resist. If someone were to beat him up,
he had no strength to resist. When a man has no strength, he has no means
to defend himself. But Jesus said, "Behold I give you
power." And His power never fails. Paul said that Jesus’
strength is made perfect in our weakness. If we have His strength, we can
endure unto the end.
Sing: He gives
strength to me, as I worship him, as my heart is filled with praise.
Jesus breaks the band, as I raise my hands, He gives glorious victory.
Thought For Today:
His strength is made perfect in our weakness!
