My Strength Is in God

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Ephesians 6:10

Remember, Paul called on Christians to be strong in the Lord ... in the power of His might. It is only through the Holy Spirit’s power that we can have victory in the battles we face in our lives.

Believers, have confidence in your God, knowing that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). We should not live anxious and troubled lives. There is no use fretting over our circumstances. Instead, we are to, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).

God is faithful. He is with us through our trials and tribulations. Pray to the Lord. He gives us His strength and power to endure, overcome, and have victory. Meditate on these Scriptures and be encouraged:

Psalm 29:11: The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.

Psalm 46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 71:16: I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD.

Psalm 73:26: My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 138:3: In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.

Are you going through times of trouble? If you lack strength in your Christian walk, ask the Lord for the power of His Holy Spirit. The Lord is on your side. He will give you His strength for the battles ahead.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca [the Valley of Weeping], they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength....
~Psalm 84:5-7~
