“The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my
song I praise Him.” (Psalm 28:7 NIV)
A story is told about a boy who
valiantly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to move a heavy log to clear a pathway
to his favorite hideout. His dad stood quietly nearby, watching his son
straining against the load. Finally he said, "Son, why aren't you using
all of your strength?"
Confused and a little angry, the boy
responded, "Dad, I'm using every last little bit of strength I have!"
"No, son, you're not," his dad
quietly responded. "You haven't asked me to help."
God is standing by at the ready,
watching us trying to do it all on our own. He is asking us, “My child, why
aren't you using all of your strength?" He is waiting for us to simply ask
for His help and His strength. And when we do, joy bursts from our heart and
praise from our lips.
