God feeds me and sustains me from His word.
Psalms 109:21-26 But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; (22) For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. (23) I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust. (24) My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. (25) I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head. (26) Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness.
2 Corinthians 11:28-30 Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. (29) Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? (30) If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself! (8) Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. (9) And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. (10) Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 13:4 For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. (29) "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. (30) "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
May I find rest for my spirit, not in earthly circumstances, or in my strength as a master of my life, but in the yoke of Christ.
