Strength

Lately I haven't been able to take my Matthew West CD out of my car. I've been listening to it constantly. It has such amazing lyrics I wanted to share them with you.

Strong Enough by Matthew West

You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough, strong enough
For both of us

Well maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up
Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
That's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough, strong enough

Cause I'm broken down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to one thing
You are God and you are strong when
I am weak

I can do all things through Christ who
Gives me strength
And I don't have to be strong enough (2x)

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough, strong enough

This discussion of strength has been surrounding me lately. This includes not only the need for strength as I'm on my weight loss journey; but also with everyday life.

Yesterday my sister's facebook status was "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I don't have to be strong enough!"

This pretty much sums it up. I'm not strong enough in any aspect of life; however with faith Christ strengthens us.

Remember to rely on Christ today--easy to say, but hard to do.

Any Bible verses that have been resounding to you lately?

Have a great Thursday!
