Our Scripture reading today is Ephesians 6:10-13.
Verse 10, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."
The life that we are living has been referred to more as a battlefield than a play room. As we go up against principalities and powers, we will need more than our strategies and plans for victory. It is clear from our text today that we need the Lord's power and armour. Not a single day goes by that we do not need His strength in order to keep marching on for His glory.
The Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 12:9, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." This may not sound like the way we would choose to obtain His power, but it is God's way! The more we are challenged the more we realize how weak we are and how strong He is. Praise Him today for your weakness and His strength!
