Proverbs 24:10 - If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. (KJV)
Jesus was the greatest example of manhood that ever walked this planet. His strength was never limited because he never trusted in Himself. Philippians 2:7 tells us that He emptied Himself of His God-nature and took on human flesh, entrusting Himself to the Father. There was never a day, an hour, or a minute of His life on earth that He was slack in any regard. His strength never failed because He trusted in the One who gave Him unlimited strength to overcome.
Where do we draw our strength from today? If we are relying on ourselves and our brainpower to solve life's problems, we will come up slack. However, if we trust in God Almighty, emptying ourselves of self, then we will find unlimited power for things that used to baffle and defeat us.
