Real Strength

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" Great quote for today. I'm sure Edison and many others would agree. It's not how many times you get knocked down in life, it's how many times you get back up. I've personally failed at so many things I'd hate to even try to count. But, I'm reminded of one of my favorite scriptures Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Hopefully at one point (or several for some folks) in your life you will get to a defining moment where you realize that you cannot do this thing called life on your own. At that point is where you need to give everything over to Christ and ask Him for His strength to help you through. I personally think that these defining moments are Gods way of pointing things out to us both, good and bad. Unfortunately some people just don't get it and curse God when things go wrong and pat themselves on the back when things go right. It should always be the other way around. Give thanks to God when things are well and ask for His strength when things are bad. That's real strength.
