Bridge Over Troubled Waters

How can you stand the pressure and keep you head up when things are shaking. You need to be reinforced. If you think of the concrete in a bridge for example it is reinforced with large amounts of steel rebar. It holds everything together so it can endure the constant pounding and weight that it has to bear. Without this inner network to the bridge would be much weaker and likely to crumble and fall apart over time. It has to have something on the inside that’s stronger than the outside to hold it together. You are likened to this bridge, at times the pressure seems unbearable and you feel like you are going to crumble and fall apart. But God has sent reinforcements so that you can overcome and hold it together. If you will read the Bible and meditate on the scriptures daily it will provide positive and supernatural reinforcement in every area of life. God also sent His Spirit to live on the inside of you to help, love, lead, guide and provide inner strength and reinforcement. You don’t have enough strength in the ‘outside material’ alone but the Word and Spirit of God in you is Almighty.

Eph 3:16
16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
