Have you ever been in a place in your life that left you beyond uncertain about your capabilities? Just completely unsure that you had the right stuff to handle everything being tossed and thrown at you. You’re left wondering if you have the strength, the tenacity, the heart, and the ability to endure.
I have found myself there a number of times in my life.
Going through my divorce and having to start life all over again was a moment I lived through that showered me with an abundance of self-doubt. With minimal in the bank account, dressing daily in garments of hurt and betrayal, and still needing to mother my newborn baby, had me questioning myself more times than I can count.
For every question, God provided answers. They may not have come immediately, but He answered. God took me from glory to glory. I gave Him my weak self, and in return, He gave me His strength.
I find myself in that place again. My heavenly Father has challenged me to trust Him in a new way. He has positioned me to lean on Him in ways I have never had to before. As I do, I question if I can do what He is asking of me. Will I be able to walk this path that lays in front of me successfully and in victory?
Not only do I have my past that tells me I can, but Paul reminds me in Phillippians 4:13, that I can do this.
“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.”
His strength carried me through before, and it will carry me through again. Like the one set of footprints in the sand, my Savior carries me when I can’t take another step. I am trusting that His arms are strong enough to see me through.
Will you trust with me that God’s arms are more than enough?
In Love,
Nona A. Phinn
