When we begin to live life from the inside out we will tap into needed and abundant strength for every situation. "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV Don’t depend on your own strength and might to accomplish what needs to get done. It will leave you weary and overburdened. Instead, use His strength and might! “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19 NKJV Look to the One on the inside who is greater, and believe that His perfect strength will fill the gap. Start to confess out loud what God has promised you in His Word and confidently expect to see the results in your daily life. The Holy Spirit is ready to help you and the time is right. Your moment of refreshing is here! “If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.” Job 14:14 Just because you have to wait on your breakthrough, does not mean that your breakthrough will not happen. The wait teaches you dependency upon the source of all your blessings… God. He desires to have your unadulterated trust, which means you expect for those things He has promised you to come to pass. Believers wait with a great expectancy that any moment could be the one that changes their situation. Even as we examine Job, who lost everything, we see that he declared that he would wait all the days of his life for his change to occur. In your life, do not think that because you have been dealing with something for a while that it will never change. Do not settle for where you are. Know that the things God promised you will happen. Wait on the Lord. Pray that he teaches you to wait with patience. Strengthen your resolve and hang in there. Expect that the best days are ahead of you and not behind. Wait on your change to come and remember this is your TIME of REFRESHING and EXPECT THE GREAT!!!
