When Hercules wrestled with Antaeus he found that every time he threw him down upon the ground the enemy arose stronger than before. But when he discovered that Gaea - The Earth - was the mother of the giant, and that every time her son fell back upon her bosom he rose with renewed strength, the Hercules changed his tactics. Lifting Antaeus high in the air , away from the source of strength, he held him there till he brought him into subjection.

We, who are not children of Earth but children of God, could learn much fromthe lesson of Antaeus. We too, whenever troubles cast us back upon the bosom of our Father, rise with renewed strength. But just as Antaeus let Hercules, who was smaller in stature than he, lift him away from the source of his power, so circumstances, infintely small and trivial, may drag us away from God. - From The Soul's Sincere Desire by Glenn Clark

Where have you experienced weakness today? Where have you experienced strength? What does that tell you?
