The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. -Habakkuk 3:19 (NLT)
THROUGH CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
As I go through challenges, trials and suffering
I can choose to remember God’s Son given as an offering
Through Christ, I am strengthened and can do all things
Without him, I will be defeated and can do nothing.
The Sovereign Lord gives me strength and wisdom
He makes me agile and ensures I embrace freedom
Through Jesus, there is nothing hard and impossible
If we only believe, anything can happen and will be possible.

We all go through life with many challenges and sometimes adversities that may feel like we are getting defeated. The enemy wants to make sure that we don’t progress, so he does everything to discourage and make us doubt ourselves and others. Remember, the bible says that he is a stealer, a killer and a destroyer (John 10:10) and he is also the father of lies.
The bible also says that the Sovereign Lord is our strength. He makes us agile and skilled as a deer who can tread upon heights. In other words, God has equipped us will all the resources and skills so that we can fulfill his purpose in our lives. He wants us to reach our destiny and soar high. We can only do this through Christ.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to depend on you alone and not in my own strength.
REFLECTION
When has God strengthen you and you made it through?
