Salmon swim against the current to get to their breeding spot where they were born. In the quest to swim upstream, some are battered and bruised; some even die in the process.
Their determination to get home is so strong that they will do everything they can to reach their destination.
The plight of the salmon holds a great lesson for us. We go through challenges and trials that overwhelm us. We become weak. We struggle to take another step. We hit rock bottom. Life spirals out of control.
In our distress, we call out to the Lord and He comes to our rescue. He strengthens us and leads us on. He strengthens our feeble knees.
We may be battered and torn but we are not quitters. God infuses His strength into our inner being miraculously. He opens our eyes to see that with Him on our side, we will overcome.
Our courage will not melt away. He fortifies us. He empowers us. He pours His mercy and grace on us. We come back bouncing with strength and tenacity. His strength is made in our weakness.
