STRONG IN THE LORD

“Be strong in the LORD and in the strength of his might,” Ephesians 6:10 ESV. There are many forms of human strength. There is mental strength, physical strength, personality strength, and many more types. But even possessing every human strength in full measure is not a substitute for God’s Strength. His Might over every force of darkness and His Power to provide, bless, heal, encourage, lift, enlighten, love, and overcome has brought me through more times than I can recount. There’s no God like Jehovah! There’s no power that can stand against Him. There’s no hope without him. Being “strong in the LORD” requires being “IN the LORD”. This is not a casual, distant relationship. It is “Christ IN US”, and “US IN HIM”! LORD, in Your grace, make it so. Deliver me from stubborn resistance to Your eternal ways and help me relax under the shadow of Your wing.
