Requiring effort and stamina, tapping into a new revived strength and energy to keep going and press forward when things are difficult.
Arise and be joyful Champions! Claim your second wind and trust God to accomplish the work he started in you!
With the breaking of the day and the sun rising on this blessed Wednesday, I am grateful for the second wind God provides!
Let's just break it down this morning...
Things happen to each one of us. Some are more extreme than others. We have health issues, job issues, relationship issues, financial issues, addiction issues, boy the list goes on and on. We have things that just hit us in our gut and bring us to our knees.
Lean in because this is good stuff...
When we are weak, he is strong!!!
Let God do his thing! Embrace your second wind and know that the King of Kings is about to do something incredible.
Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,
My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
