*DAILY DEW 7/DECEMBER/2023* *How to Be Strengthened* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."* (1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ We usually think that it takes strength to work, but ironically it takes work to build strength. The man who will gain strength, will not do so by lying down all day. Try it and see. To gain strength, you need to throw yourself into the work first in your mind. Your mind must come to a place of acceptance that the work must be done and done by no one else but you. This is the first thing that gives way to the rise of strength to get through the job and get it done. After accepting the work, we then throw ourselves into it. We must exercise or attempt or practice doing the work. For strength to materialize, it is as you get down into the work, you discover that strength is coming to play. And the more you do the work, the more you gain strength to do the work. Strength does not come by doing nothing or little. Strength is achieved by exercise, attempting or practicing the work. In the process, strength kicks in and in increasing measures. Take prayer for instance. You will gain strength to pray not by waiting to see strength first, but by reluctantly or hesitantly throwing in yourself to begin the prayer process. When you have suffered the state of strengthlessness for a while, thereafter, you begin to see strength rise gradually. _MEDITATION:_ *Work is not only a product of strength, but actually the source of strength. No man develops the strength of their muscles by lack of exercise but by the work of regular exercise.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
