Strength and power?
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Ephesians 6:10-11 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Strength and power?
Are you trying to stand in your own strength and power? Many of the struggles in our lives are not mere accidents! They are put there to stumble us and make us fall by the enemy. But, understand this clearly, none (not one of them) are put there by God. God didn’t put you in a wheelchair so He could use you to teach others about Him form a wheelchair! No, what God would do would be to heal & restore you & take you out of that wheelchair and then have you tell people what He did for you!! Our challenges and struggles most often come from ourselves or from the hand of our enemy, Satan. He always prowls around looking for the best scheme to knock us out of our commitment to, and our relationship with, the Lord. Then he will use your own mind or a friend or a relative or even a complete stranger to cause his scheme to be put into motion. Placing ourselves firmly in the hands of the Lord and using His tools of warfare will help us keep our enemy, who has already been humiliated and defeated by Jesus and the cross, where he belongs. Under our feet! Trust in the Lord and all His might.
MY PRAYER…
Strengthen me, O God, that I may stand against my foe and triumph by the power of Your Holy Spirit and bring honor and glory to my conquering Savior. You will return one day and take me home in victory. Father reveal Yourself to me through Your Word, Your power and Your strength that are mine to use to keep the enemy down until he is finally cast into the everlasting lake of fire. In the name of Jesus, Your Holy Son, I pray Lord.
Amen
