Is it possible to rely too much on God? Can we be wrapped up to much in believing in Him and trusting Him and hoping in Him? Surely not, right? That is what he wants us to do, right? To hope when there can't possibly be any hope left. But when there is no hope left in the world, that is when I know He can do His most powerful work. So that when everyone else has given up and quit, anything that happens past that point can only be attributed to Him and His power. I can feel my own strength growing, slowly but surely, it's growing. If can just fix my eyes on him and his perfectness, I feel a great sense of peace begin to flow through my veins. My mind feels clear and my body feels relaxed and my heart feels happy. Even though there are those around me who are starting to feel like all is lost, I am only gaining hope in my Lord. I can't look or listen to what they are saying. I can not do that! I love them, but if they are only going to inflict doubt and unbelief on me, then I can't continue to let them into my life right now. I need God's presences in my life more no than ever. As this trial becomes tougher and tougher, I need his might hand more apparent than ever. My husband hasn't given me anything to hope for. As the world would see it, all is lost.
2 Corinthians 12:9
9 But he said to me, "My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak."
So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ's power can rest on me.
At this moment, I am at the bottom. I am at zero. I have can see no hope at all in the this world. But! But, my hope lies in someone other than what is in this world:
Psalm 31:24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.
