Friday's Challenge on Posted by Rebekah

Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio.  My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online HERE or download the free app for your smartphone.  I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge!
Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk. 


Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)

Different phones have different capacity levels. Sometimes, we can have the same brand of phone but one seems to work better for one person than it does for a different person.

My husband and I both have an Iphone.  His battery seems to last forever while mine can barely last through the morning. 

Our phones seem to be a mirror of us actually.  While my husband can last through a lot in a day and not even be affected, it doesn’t take much for something to affect my spirit.  My life battery seems to drain more quickly than my husband’s life battery.  It can be frustrating to not be as strong as him.  As resilent.

In Psalms 18, David begins the chapter saying, “I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.  The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”  What truth can we come away with from the lesson of a phone battery?

Don’t compare your strength with someone else.  I can get easily frustrated if I compare myself with my husband.  God created him differently than me.  The fact that we are different doesn’t make one right or wrong.  We are different and that needs to be ok.

Our true source of strength always needs to come from the Lord!  David, even when he was at his lowest point, he got his strength from the Lord.  The Lord was his rock, his fortress, his buckler, his high tower and notice, it says deliverer.  When you feel you are at your lowest…that there is no hope…the Lord is there to deliver you.  And why?  It says in verse 19…he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 

At the times that I am not strong….I am watched over by my Savior because He delights in me.  Delight means to please someone greatly.  Wow!!  How does the perfect one – the sinless one – delight in a sinner like me?  How can I please him greatly?  It is almost unthinkable-unimaginable.

So on those days when you feel weak…when you have absolutely no strength…take this challenge.

Don’t look at the person next to you and compare who is the strongest.  Look to the Lord and remember…My strength is from Him!  He delights in me! 

Will you take the challenge?

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
