God lends His strength

A very dear friend of mine is going through great trials and tribulations in her life. Her husband has experienced at least four major strokes in the past year and I found myself asking how she is able to withstand these troubling times as she tries very hard to hold the family together, keep her business going and step in as the coordinator for all the medical decisions that must be made in her husbands life. But just as I was about to shake my head in wonder, I realize that God is lending His stregth to keep her upright. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. The reason why she and we are stronger than we imagined is because it's not our strength that is being tested, but instead it is His strength that is shoring us up so that we can strengthen those who are around us. It never really was about us, but instead it's all about Him. If we look to Him and lean on Him, we will make it through those times when the rest of the world is confused as to how we are surviving. Lean on Him.
