In the crucible of life, especially this year, we have endured the great heat and severe testing of the pandemic.  But out of it we are made stronger if we keep our eyes on God.  Psalm 18: 32 & 35 says, “It is God Who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.  You give me Your shield of victory, and Your right hand sustains me;  You stoop down to make me great.”  Our strength comes from the Lord and as Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”  Think of this…you are stronger than you know or can imagine.   For the strength you receive from the Lord in this verse means it enables you to not only endure but to effectively handle any situation you confront.
