Even the Strong Need the His Strength

I was driving down the freeway recently and a semi truck passed me. What was different about this semi is that it wasn't hauling a trailer. In fact it was hauling three other semi trucks (and looked just like the picture I've used). It was pretty incredible to me seeing this powerful semi truck pulling three other, just as equally strong semi trucks down the freeway at 65mph. It made me think of us and Jesus. We can be people of physical and spiritual strength, and yet there is no way we can get around our dependence upon the Lord and His strength in our lives. In Psalm 28:7 we're encouraged by the writer's words, "The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." The Lord is our strength and we can't live without it. I think about how many times I've been or felt weak, and in those times the Lord's strength has come through in such a big way. Today, you may be struggling, or perhaps you're doing well, but in either case you need the Lord's strength to make it through :) Lean on Him. Trust in Him. Receive His strength. It's just what you need and is available at just the right time.
