Strength in the middle of weakness

Scripture: “Blessed are those whose strength is in You.” — Psalm 84:5

We admire independence — doing things ourselves, needing no one. But Scripture flips that idea upside down. Blessed are the dependent. Blessed are the ones who know they don’t have enough strength and refuse to pretend they do.

God doesn’t wait for us to be impressive. His strength becomes perfect when ours runs out. The valley exposes our limits so we can finally experience His power.

Reflection:

Where have you been trying to power through on your own instead of drawing strength from God?

Prayer:

Lord, I admit I don’t have enough on my own. Be my strength today. Teach me to depend on You instead of myself.
