I thought you might need a pick-me-up at this point. Yeah, it’s Monday, but guess what? In 1 hour and 58 minutes (as of this writing), Monday will be over. But you won’t.

I know that for me, the joy of the Lord has been my strength. I’m not one of those who goes around boasting about how strong I am and how I can take whatever gets thrown at me. I’m not the storm (and I don’t want to be).

I cling to the words of the old song that says, “I am weak but He is strong.” In fact, in my weakness God’s power is made perfect.

That’s the testimony of the saints. We’re still here by the grace of God. Some days, if that’s all you can say, that’s good enough. It means that God’s perfect strength carried you through.

And yeah, you’re pretty awesome for sticking around.
