Strength To Live

Greetings to all; on this "hump" day, Wednesday, may we find the passion needed to live a purposeful life.

Sometimes in life, we will be confronted with powerful and relentless stress that takes away our strength and passion for living.

1 Kings 19:3-4 (MSG)

3 When Elijah saw how things were, he ran for dear life to Beer-sheba, far in the south of Judah. He left his young servant there

4 and then went on into the desert for another day's journey. He came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in its shade, wanting in the worst way to be done with it all—to die: "Enough of this, GOD! Take my life—I am ready to join my ancestors in the grave!"

Lesson: When we live for God and things in life are dark and depressing, God steps in and lifts our spirits enabling us to find a passion for life that gives us the strength to live.
