I’ve never been one to walk away from something I know God is wanting me to address. However, in so doing, I have stumbled over and over. It is one thing to know God is nudging, it is another thing to follow the nudge under God’s Strength instead of taking the bull by the horns and doing it from your own strength and messing it all up.

The 90 day book I mention so often is a case in point. In it the challenge is to operate in the day under God’s Strength. However, even after 118 days I find myself shifting into my own strength and doing so without even recognizing it until afterwards. I suppose this is true for everyone, but it sure is a good reminder that our flesh is in constant need of surrender.

The Serenity Prayer tells to commit to “one day at a time, one moment at a time….” There is very good reason for this and I am one who always needs to keep this in the forefront of my day’s start and throughout it. So, today I am committed to 24 hours in Your Strength God, surrendering my flesh.
