“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Do you know who your source is? Psalm 27:1 declares, “The Lord is my light and my salvation;  whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” This is not  just a poetic expression—it is a powerful declaration of confidence in God.

It means you do  not need to worry whether your own strength or ability will carry you through life’s  challenges. You have a source far greater than yourself: the Almighty God, who never grows  tired and never needs to rest. He is your constant strength, your never-failing support. 

God is Your Source of Strength 

When you feel weak or overwhelmed, remember that your sufficiency is not in yourself but  in God. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Lean  into His strength. You don’t need to perform or strive in your own power. Draw daily from the  One who empowers you to rise, to endure, and to overcome. 

God is Your Source of Strategy

God is not just your strength—He is your strategist. Psalm 32:8 assures us: “I will instruct you  and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” Through the Holy Spirit,  God leads you with divine wisdom and supernatural insight. According to John 16:13, the  Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth and even show you things to come. When you are  confused or unsure, ask for His guidance. He will lead you step by step and give you the  winning strategies for life, work, ministry, relationships, and decisions. 

God is Your Source of Solutions 

There is no problem God cannot solve. Whether it’s a difficult relationship, a closed door, a  painful past, or a financial need, He is more than able. He makes a way where there seems to  be none (Isaiah 43:19). He lifts the poor from the dust and seats them with princes (Psalm  113:7–8). He gives children to the barren and turns mourning into dancing (Psalm 113:9;  Psalm 30:11). He silences raging storms and stills the troubled seas (Psalm 107:29). He heals,  restores, delivers, and redeems. 

What God cannot do does not exist. 

So today, stop striving in your own strength. Run to your Source. Let God be your strength in  weakness, your strategy in uncertainty, and your solution in crisis. He is more than enough.  Make Him your highest priority and you will never run dry.
