The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.

Psalm 29:11 (NLT)

The God whose power is behind each lightning bolt, controls each rain storm, and directs the seasons to change is the same God who provides strength, peace and direction for your life.

As I watch the rain fall, I am reminded of the sovereign power and authority our Father has over everything. Not just the lives of His people, he controls the seasons, the weather, even the length of each day. He has the final say on when it rains and when the sun shines. He is behind each blessing and also allows each struggle. His hand is in every situation we face.

During the hard seasons of life, our weaknesses are shown more clearly. We are made strong when we recognize our shortcomings and need for Him. When we call on Him and align our lives with His perfect will, we are blessed with His strength and peace. It is a promise we can stand on.

When we are weak, we are made strong (2 Corinthians 12:11). I pray you call on Him today. He will replace your struggle with strength.
