Another great devotion today from Positive Living Day by Day by Norman Vincent Peale. If you don't have this book I would highly suggest getting it.
He gives strength to the weary and increases power to the weak. Isaiah 40:29
Nobody can live successfully in this world without being strong. You may be pampered and protected when you are a child, but you have to learn to be strong as you mature, because sooner or later, life will throw the book at you. Sometimes it will throw the whole book at you all at once. You have to get adjusted so you won't collapse under the trouble, or give way under difficulty, or fold under the blow of adversity. I sometimes think that the greatest virtue of all is to be strong.
Christianity is a way of life that makes people strong. You can have all the strength you will ever need if you build into yourself the love of God and stay close to Jesus until He becomes part of you.
Our Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for the great power that comes to us from You through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Devotion this morning in Postive Living Day by Day.
Just got up this morning and grabbed the devotional book "Positive Living Day by Day by Norman Vincent Peale" and thought everyone would appreciate what the devotion had to say this morning. It's short so take the time to read it. I think you'll enjoy it and have a better attitude after reading it. Here it is.
"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." JEREMIAH 29:12-13
How deeply do we believe? Do we just believe superficially, without depth or commitment? In the book of Jeremiah we read, "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Nobody ever made anything great out of his life who didn't do it with his whole heart.
I remember talking to a celebrity years ago. I knew that she had had a great deal of trouble in her life. I asked, "How come you keep at it with such enthusiasm?"
"Why," she answered, "because I love it. I give my whole self to it." And she did; she threw everything she had into it. If you give yourself with all your heart to your business, to your children, to your marriage, to your future, to your hopes, you are going to come out with something that is lasting and strong.
Hope this helps your day. Great words to live by!
