Proverbs 24:10 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.” (Proverbs 24:10 NKJV)

Adversities, troubles and storms are the gauge of our strength. It also exercises our strength to become stronger and stronger as it sustains to resist the stress of daily challenges we face. If a person faints in times of adversity and crisis, the issue is strength, this passage says. Not because of the intensity of the challenge. Which reveals it is all up to us. It’s a choice. If there's lack of wisdom to exercise and tone the muscle of faith, it leads to weakness.

Earlier passages remind that "a wise man is strong and increases in strength." Yes, true wisdom in the knowledge and fear of the Lord makes a person grow stronger and stronger in faith to rely in the faith of Christ Jesus. It reminds that we have a Great God who is Almighty. Wisdom led David straight to the Lord when he and his men found their families were taken captives by their enemy. They were in a state of horror that "they wept, until they have no more strength to weep." “David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.” (1 Samuel 30:6 NIV)

Wisdom drove David right on to the Lord where he found strength. Which reminds us that at all times, let's come to Him in Christ Jesus, our Lord. In Him, with our faith as small as mustard seed (Luke 17:6), as we come to Him we can rest not in our faith, but in His faith (Galatians 2:20). As David did, with a grateful heart, we declare this assurance: “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” (Psalms 28:7 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
