Your Strength is Small

"If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small."
-Proverbs 24:10

"That may be an uncomfortable thought, but it needs saying. Anyone can bulldoze ahead when the course is downhill. And of course, our strength often really is small. How often Christians discover, with Paul, that God's strength is perfected in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:1-10)" (D.A. Carson, For the Love of God, Vol2, April 6).

Is this not why we are in constant need of hearing the Word preached, the ordinances administered, believers strengthening one another (Pro 27:17), and our knees on the floor with our hearts attuned to God and souls crying out to Him?
