Restore My Soul – Glory Strength
Having so much free time on my hands is quite new for me. There are days that I feel lost as I move around the house looking for things to do and others that I hope to finish the work by the end of the day. Floundering would accurately describe how I feel sometimes. Today God gave me some much needed encouragement.
God’s message to me: Glory Strength – Make the most of every opportunity
As I was reading a bible study I came across the following comments:
“No matter what the day brings God is sovereign over the circumstances of your life, so there is always opportunity to be found in them. Don’t be like the man who hid his master’s talent in the ground because he was disgruntled with his circumstances. He gave up and took the easy way out, blaming his hard situation rather than making the most of his opportunity. Actually, the more difficult your circumstances, the more you gain through them.”
“I gladly give you Glory Strength. It is exceedingly potent because the Spirit Himself empowers you – strengthening you in your inner being. Moreover, My limitless Glory-Strength enables you to keep on enduring the unendurable. Since this power is so vast, there is more than enough of it to spill over into joy!”
What an amazing encouragement for whatever my day brings! There is always Godly purpose working through every situation. So on days that are quiet, He is giving me rest. On days that are busy He is giving me Glory Strength to accomplish what He has for me. Regardless of what the day brings, I can do it all as if I’m doing it for God.
My Prayer
Father, thank you again for Your timely encouragement. I don’t need to flounder around wondering what to do because You have already set in motion people, events and even stillness that will serve Your purposes. Help me to use the Glory Strength that You provide and to do all that I do as if for You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Where does my help come from?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.
