Renew our strength, and help the Lord

The answer to our strength, is the Lord. We who always need encouraging word to keep ourselves in the will of the Lord will always find help in the word of God. Jesus Christ has giving us the a basic guide to leading our steps towards a peaceful relationship with him.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

First, and most important is, where is your heart? If your heart is in the Lord living a holy and, a truly devoted Godly life, we will always find our strength. Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

If we break the ties of the old worldly man we will find peace with God. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

God looks at the heart.

I Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Labor in the Lord where it counts the most. When we as believers in Christ, and his uncompromisable word of the true word of God, and the gospel that was preached through Jesus Christ leads us to see where we lack our responsible laboring  in the Lord.  

The lord is looking for people with a desire to help deliver the message of salvation to lost souls.

Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

I Corinthians 11:31-32  31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Jesus spoke and said, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

If we labor in the wrong areas of our life this will cause an unbalanced relationship with Christ, Jesus. The scale will tip where you have more effort. If we apply our effort towards the Gospel giving to us we will find our peace with the Lord and, find rest unto your soul.   

We cannot take on the world, and its concern by ourselves this will cause grief. Let us put it in the hands of the Lord.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.  

2 Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Don't let your guard down and, allow Satan to feed you with the cares of this world and, take your joy. If you do, you will fall into the snares of Satan net, and you will find yourself worst in sin then from the beginning.     

2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Bear the whole armor of the Lord, and you will be a winner over Satan.

Ephesians 6: 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
