Dry

I came to God so dry today. It’s been a tough weekend. I have felt stretched thin and ready to cry often. I pushed through, kept on trying and finally made it to Sunday night collapsing in bed.

“And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance,”

This morning (Monday) early -I felt the tug. “Come, get up, and draw from me.” I crept to the den, turned on the Christmas tree lights and began to read my Bible. In the quiet I could hear better, think better, humble my heart before our Great God.

“…so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [furnished in abundance for every good work],” 2 Corinthians 9:8

He always understands. The phrases leapt off the page and stuck in my heart. “God is able… in abundance.” That’s what I need, grace in huge doses for what’s ahead today. Everyday. His amazing grace in me furnishing all I need for every good work. I can’t drum it up, but I can tap into it, through Jesus, by His strength and with His promises.

Thank you LORD for waking me and for Your word – Pour it on! I believe You can. I believe You will. In Your strength I go, In Jesus’ name.
