Dueteronomy 33:25 "Strength For This Moment"

 In Dueteronomy 33:25, God says, "your strength will equal your days."   There is no strength for Monday on Sunday.  Monday will get here soon enough.  Use the strength God gives you for today, today.  Trust that God will, indeed, give you strength for tomorrow, tomorrow.  When we run ahead of our strength, we run out of strength.  God will provide what we need when we need it, and He will provide exactly the right amount to meet the need.  That's the way He works.

Now, I don't want to seem trite or simplistic, but I believe this plan holds true for every situation that threatens to undo us.  Maybe you are in a situation right now that seems overwhelming.  An overload of responsibility… stressful deadlines… an impending medical problem…  an addiction… trying to raise your children… trying to keep your marriage together… trying to dig out of a financial pit…  Or maybe you are overwhelmed by the spiritual things in your life.  You desire to follow Jesus but you worry about sustaining a life-long commitment.  Maybe you are wondering if you will ever beat some ongoing, plaguing sin or habit.  Here is the plan.  It's God's plan for handling the overwhelming.    Give yourself to Jesus moment by moment, hour by hour, and day by day; He will make a victorious life out of it. 

 Don't worry about the future; focus instead on the moment.  Sometimes when we try to look too far ahead, it’s too much for us.  An alcoholic thinking about the probablility of never having another drink, might despair –he might think it can’t be done.  But you see, if he doesn’t worry about an imaginary drink years in the future, but just makes the decision to not have a drink right at this moment, that’s not overwhelming.  So, whatever your struggle, whatever your worry, whatever your fear, give Jesus this moment.  The victorious life is the sum of thousands of little victories won a moment at a time.  Moment by Moment and little by little.  That’s God’s plan.
