"They go from strength to strength...." Ps. 84:7

Naturally, as one walks a marathon,

 while maybe another enjoys mountain climbing,

 maybe another cross-training or running,

we tend to start off strong and then we become weak, 

we in our own flesh, go from strength to weakness, naturally.

                                                                             

 But isn't it interesting, on this journey we call, "life", spiritually speaking,

we see David talking about God's people go from "strength to strength"

not strength to weakness! 

That, my friend, is not normal, that's super-natural. 

Imagine, climbing these snowy mountain peaks, and spiritually and mentally being challenged,

ledge by ledge, foot by foot, but you only grow stronger and stronger! It's awesome! but it's a powerful God we serve!

                                                                               

Nearing the close of the year, its good to look back 

and see how far Gad has brought you!! 

You might have climbed so high, you're above the clouds! 

Through the up's and down's, the summer's and winter's of life,

 if you really think about it, looking back over the year 2017,

 you're not weaker if you waited on the Lord's strength to get you through, 

you're stronger now !!

                                                                             

We not only "go from strength to strength", we GROW from strength to strength!!

I cannot begin to tell you how exhausted and worn out 

this Momma of four has felt at times

and yet, inwardly, He renews my strength to go another mile!!!

So day by day,  may we all go, "strength to strength", victoriously! 

Side note-

It has been expressed to me that

it is not an easy job for the young man in our house, 

with no brother and outnumbered by the ladies, 4 to 1 while 

Dad's at work, especially.

Now, personally, I cant understand why he wouldn't 

LOVE this more than he does, what's the big deal?!? (wink, wink)

But he's surely having to go from strength to strength he says, 

so remember him in your prayers!!
