Week 19 Day 4


God Sustains

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:9

Oh! give me, Lord, the tender heart

That trembles at the’ approach of sin,

A godly fear of sin impart,

Implant and root it deep within.

When Lincoln faced the duties of the Oval Office, he knew it was a job too big for any single person. He exclaimed, “I should be the most presumptuous blockhead upon this footstool if I for one day thought that I should discharge the duties which have come upon me without the aid and enlightenment of One who is stronger and wiser than all others.” Lincoln relied on God, not on his cabinet or generals, to give him the wisdom and strength to govern the country. Do you act like God is stronger and wiser than you? If you’re trying to “go it alone” or are living your life based on the views and opinions of others, take Lincoln’s lead and rest on the One who is stronger and wiser.
