God CAN BE YOUR Biggest CheerleaderPosted by Trevino Frederiksen on April 22nd, 2021 Do you ever wonder where you'll muster up enough strength to start another day, especially following a defeat? As a young girl I had experienced a lack of faith in people and thought we would follow what all of those other world was doing. However, as the years passed I realized that we aren't on our own when we have to muster up strength. The demoiselle crane knows something about strength. One per year these birds make among the toughest migrations on the globe. In late August through September, they gather in flocks by the thousands and prepare for their flight with their winter range in India. The Nepalese people say that no bird can fly above the heights of the Himalayas. However, the demoiselle crane does. I had the pure joy of watching a fascinating DVD about these cranes. They started to ascend towards the peaks of the Himalayas, but they hit a ferocious storm. The turbulence was a lot more than they could handle, plus they were forced to turn back. The next day they were weak and hungry but proceeded to ascend once more. They used thermals--rising columns of warm air--to gain height. Their ascent was effortless as they simply allow thermals lift them higher and higher. As they attained the peak, however, they once more had to place some effort to their journey, and every wing beat became an exhausting struggle until finally these were over the top. get more info was so moved by their success I simply wished to jump up and cheer. The storms of life could be very turbulent aswell. We lose someone we love deeply, bills are piling up, health has taken a turn, and relationships seem to wane. W here do we gain the strength? Physically, we can only achieve this much. Mentally we are able to only, at times, think of the worst scenario. But spiritually we are able to be strengthened. It's called our inner man. God wants to touch the deep section of you along with his love and His grace and to fill you with a confidence that originates from only Him. Although the cranes turned back, God's plan is to take you through regardless of how rough it really is. He knows your weaknesses , as well as your fears and really, wants to replace them with trust and faith in Him Sometimes when you think you're just not going to make it, grab the term of God and draw from His precious promises. When people around you're discouraging rather than encouraging, don't quit and give up. Keep going, for the living Words of God are food for the strength you will need for the journey. Did you know you've got a crowd cheering you on in heaven? Hebrews 12:1 says there is a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us cheering, clapping, and yellowing, "That can be done it!" So strengthen your inner man. You shouldn't be lazy, don't quit and go back. It can take effort to overcome the turbulence, but you will be stronger and ready next time the winds of life become strong. You might have to flap a little harder and little longer but eventually you'll ride on the warm thermal columns of God's love. You will be in a place of confidence rather than a place of fear.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
