“As your days, so shall your strength be.” Deuteronomy 33:25.
This passage from the Bible says that God's grace is always available, but it's meant to be used, not hoarded. As you face your daily responsibilities with love and respect for God, he'll grant
you the strength and wisdom to overcome challenges. Remember, you can't face these trials alone – God is your source of strength. As Ellen White says,
“The Lord's arrangement is for us to ask Him for the very things that we need. The grace of tomorrow will not be given today. Men's necessity is God's opportunity.... The grace of God is never
given to be squandered, to be misapplied or perverted, or to be left to rust with disuse....” OHC 125
God won't give you the overwhelming courage of martyrs right away, but you'll receive the grace you need for each situation. This daily reliance on God helps you grow in your faith and knowledge
of Jesus Christ. Even in persecution, God promises the strength to be a true hero for your faith. As Ellen White adds,
“We will not be able to meet the trials of this time without God. We are not to have the courage and fortitude of martyrs of old until brought into the position they were in.... We are to receive
daily supplies of grace for each daily emergency. Thus we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and if persecution comes upon us, if we must be enclosed in prison walls for
the faith of Jesus and the keeping of God's holy law, “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Should there be a return of persecution there would be grace given to arouse every energy of the
soul to show a true heroism....”OHC 125
Here are some spiritual insights we need to remember:
Living in the Present: Focus on God's strength for today's needs. Don't burden yourself with future anxieties. Trust that God will be there for you when
tomorrow comes.
Daily Dependence: Develop a habit of asking God for help throughout the day. This strengthens your connection with him as your source of strength.
Spiritual Growth: As you rely on God's daily grace, you grow closer to him and gain a deeper understanding of his love.
Stewardship of Grace: Use God's grace actively. Don't waste it on things that don't align with your faith.
Developing Heroism: True spiritual heroism isn't about overwhelming strength, but about using God's grace to face challenges with faith and courage.
Reflection Questions:
-How can I be more present in my daily life and rely less on future worries?
-What are some ways I can actively seek God's help throughout the day?
-How can I be a better steward of God's grace in my life?
-What challenges do I face where I can practice relying on God's strength?
