Promised Strength

God has promised strength to equal our days.

And yes, that includes strength to blow out all of  those seemingly numerous candles!

It includes strength to face every new morning with a smile and every night with a prayer of thanksgiving on our lips. 

When we were young we counted the days until our birthday arrived, now many of us have ‘graduated’ to dreading the fateful day when we will add yet another candle to the cake. 

Why dread what He has purposed? He meant for men to grow up…to become mature and wise-

years are good for that.

 With God lighting the candles and handing them to us, our flame becomes brighter and brighter...

and that's how He likes it!
