A Wonderful Guarantee
"I will strengthen you."
~ Isaiah 41:10
"When called to serve or to suffer, we take stock of our strength, and find it to be less than we thought, and less than we need. But let not our heart sink while we have such a word as this to fall back upon. God has strength omnipotent, and His promise is that He will give it to us. There is no telling how much power God can put into a man. When divine strength comes, human weakness is no more a hindrance.
Do we not remember seasons of labor and trial where we received such special strength that we wondered at ourselves? In the midst of danger, we were calm; in slander, we were self-contained; and in sickness, we were patient. The fact is that God gives unexpected strength when unusual trials come upon us. My own weakness makes me shrink, but God's promise makes me brave"
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions).
