Be Strong

Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking;

Psalms 6:2 (HCSB)

We hear from many, "just be strong." In death, difficulty and trials many tell us just to be strong. But is that really the answer for the Christ Follower? Do we need strength? Absolutely! But how we get strength as a Christ Follower is recognizing our weakness. The Psalmist demonstrates the need of crying out for the Lord's strength. He cries, "be gracious to me." We would be wise to echo his cry in our own lives.

When we recognize our weakness then God's strength can be released in us and He will work through us and in us. It is really OK to admit that we are weak. When we do God will be ready to do more than we could ever imagine.
