Dear Young Christian:
Do you feel overwhelmed or overcome at the beginning of another week of school, work, or just the daily grind of life? King David had the answer for such a problem when he said, “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2).
We don’t have to feel overwhelmed when we have a Lord who is greater and higher than any problem or difficulty that we will face this week. That’s not to say there won’t be troubles and hard situations ahead, but we can commit each one to Him, knowing that He is able. The Apostle Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). Is the resource of power and strength any less for us today…not a bit! It is the same mighty strength and limitless supply that Paul and so many others have experienced over the centuries. Will you draw on this resource this week?
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
