Remember the cartoon of Popeye the Sailor Man? Whenever he needed energy, he would eat spinach and, "Voila," he had all the energy he needed. Perhaps the same can be true for us if we are walking in the will of God and, instead of spinach, we ingest scripture.
Today there was an event for which I've been preparing for three days. I was apprehensive about my energy level - to make it through this last full day and then be "on" for the event itself. On my bathroom counter is a scrap of paper reading these words: "Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee." (Psalm 68:28) Every time, upon seeing those workds in the last 48 hours, I would pray for strength.
The event is over; it is late at night, and I am not completely wrung out and exhausted. My God sent forth strength for me, in part by sustaining me physically and in part by the help of beautiful friends and family who stood beside me and helped with the needed tasks.

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. [Psalm 105:4]
