When we try to do everything in our own strength we begin to feel burdened and weighed down.
I was reading a post by Jonathan Cahn this morning. And he was telling a account of what him and his friends used to with quarters. I remember kids doing this when I was young.
I remember when I was growing up. Kids used to pray a practical joke on others. By super gluing a quarter to the sidewalk. When someone bent down to pick it up, it wouldn’t move. It was fixed to the sidewalk. A quarter barely weighs anything, but when superglued to the pavement it weighs as much as the pavement.
It was a cruel joke, but there is a great spiritual lesson. If you’re trying to be strong, and righteous in you’re own strength, you’re own strength will always fall short.
It’s not going to weigh much. But if you attach yourself to God; to His righteousness, then His strength, His weight, His power, His resources and His abilities then His authority becomes yours. You will not live by your weight, not by the lightness of the quarter but by the solidarity of the Rock (God). Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. It’s a truth that can change your life. We should try every day to live by the weight and power of God that is in us, and not by the lightness of the coin.
