God's Strength in Our Difficult Places - Devotional

The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.

Habakkuk 3:19​


No matter what we face in life, God is our 'Strength'. He is our source of 'Courage' and is likened to an 'Invincible Army', which no one and nothing can conquer. He is too powerful to be defeated or overcome—that is who God is!

He steadies us in our walk. He makes our feet like hinds' feet, so that we can be steadier and more confident in our walk. We can then walk forward with spiritual confidence on the high places, the steep, mountainous places of challenge, struggle, responsibility, and on the rocky places where we can lose our footing and stumble. He is there strengthening us as we walk with Him. He strengthens our feet with each step we take as we walk through those difficult and rough patches. We can have confidence in Him!

Those difficult places of challenge & struggle only deepen our relationship with God, so we should never run from them. It is necessary to go through them, and we can go through them when we keep our eyes on the good Shepherd and continue walking with Him. He has promised us that He will walk with us and steady us as we do. He is fully trustworthy!

So, today, if you are facing a rocky mountain or if you are already making your way up its steep cliffs, remember that God is with you with each step you take. Keep holding onto Him and keep taking steps—walking forward with spiritual confidence in your heavenly Father.

Good morning, godbe4me;

2024 has been a year for my personal growth in Christ. From reading God's Strength in Our Difficult Places - Devotional there have been deep valleys early in the year with no answers. With patience and being still, these disciplines took work on my part.

I have all the faith God had gone ahead of me. But the patience and remaining still has been a heavy walk.

During the first 6 months there was work to do while maintaining my personal health and spiritual well being. This helped take my mind off waiting for God Strength in those difficult places still, with no answers.

We are now in July and God has empowered me to lift those mountains and cliffs, and the ones that remain God has other unlimited servants He sends that involve me.

There is still much work ahead but what God has delivered lifts my confidence in Him, that He will make a way but it always has to be in His Time and His Ways regarding my questions.

God bless you, godbe4me and thank you for sharing.
