Muscling Through
September 6, 2018
Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah.
2 Chronicles 20:3
Competitive bodybuilders put themselves through a rigorous training cycle. During the initial months, they emphasize gaining size and strength. As the competition nears, the focus shifts to losing any fat that hides the muscle. In the final days before the competition, they consume less water than normal so their muscle tissue is easily visible. Because of the reduced consumption of nourishment, the competitors are actually at their weakest on the day of competition, despite appearing strong.
In 2 Chronicles 20, we read of the opposite reality: acknowledging weakness in order to experience Gods strength. A vast army is coming against you, people told King Jehoshaphat. So he proclaimed a fast for all Judah (v. 3), depriving himself and all his people of nourishment. Then they asked God for help. When he finally mustered his military, Jehoshaphat placed singers who praised God at the front of his army (v. 21). As they began to sing, the Lord set ambushes against the men . . . who were invading Judah, and they were defeated (v. 22).
Jehoshaphats decision demonstrated deep faith in God. He purposefully chose not to depend on his own human and military prowess but instead to lean on God. Rather than trying to muscle our way through the trials we face, may we turn to Him and allow Him to be our strength.
We must recognize our weakness to experience Gods strength.

Good evening, Pro...did you have a good work day?
I had a YAG laser capsulotomy on each eye today. My eyes still look like owl eyes and I’m having a terrible time typing. Should clear up the cloudiness.

This afternoon as we were returning from our every week, Wednesday luncheon, we were stuck behind a guy who had the right-of-way but was just sitting there and not moving.
I shook my head, sighed and rhetorically asked, "Why, oh why do I get behind all of the dumb-oxen?"
Mrs. spel's very eloquent response: "Because, to you, ALL of them are dumb-oxen! When another driver does not do exactly what you want him/her to do exactly when you want him/her to do it then he/she immediately becomes a dumb-ox!"
I literally had to pull over, stop the car and start laughing!
To: Kathy in Alaska
HI Kathy!
I've been a bit under the weather and am taking this week off from work.
Wow, I had to look that laser term up. Hope your eyesight is back to normal soon!

Howdy, Kathy.
They did both eyes at once? Yikes! Like the work day needed to be made more difficult not being able to see.
Hope it clears up the cloudiness as intended.

Fall and cool weather are here. Time to dig out the quilts, heavy clothing and hunker down hoping for warm spells. Soon I will be waiting to complain that it is too hot.
May God bless all and their families.

You’re much nicer than I am. What I call them isn’t nearly as nice as “dumb oxen”. LOL!
