God does not give us the strength for the length of our battle...He gives the length of our battle, to build up our strength.
It's not a prepare-before-you-go situation--it's a become-prepared-AS-you-are-going, type of situation, we live here on earth. If we read the verses about strength in the Bible--it's never our own strength, it's God's and He develops it in us-THROUGH the training.
The manna didn't rain down in advance--only enough for what was *needed* that day, was given. BUT it had to be gathered. We must go out and gather up the strength that God has provided for us, every day...REACH for it, and you will find it.
Don't give up.
Pssst...I referenced back to this post in my latest blog. :-)
