Strength

My actions just latterly such as drinking have shown a large amount of weakness so I began thinking about what is strength. This is what I come up with:

Strength as a christian comes from knowing god and seeing the way he works. The knowing that god has always got your back, and to have expreienced the way he answers prayers, provides knowledge and heallings. As such a christian is at his weakest when we do not stand in this strength rather our own. For some that is because they do not know god well enough, others it is becasue we get side tracked or emotionaly drained and begin to place more importance on worldly things. Such as our emotional needs and physical needs above the need of God's and we forget god will look after each and every one of in his time and way. We only need to look to the writings of Paul in the bible and see what attitude we should have to pain suffering and the trials of this world. Yet so often as christians we fail do so, this is some thing I think so often we all need to repent from. You see as christians we should not worry to trust in god that every thing will be ok in the end. This does not justify acting in any sinful manner we desire, because our actions still have coniquences one of them being the amount of suffering Jesus had to experience for every sin. Rather gives us a peace of mind and the ability to rest in god.
