Strong In The Lord

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:1-2

​There are times in life when we feel pressed to the point of weakness. There are moments as adults—with responsibilities, jobs, dreams, and social expectations—when we feel so deflated that it becomes difficult to gather the strength to move forward. The good thing about those times is that when we are experiencing them we have the tendency to cry out to God in despair. Being under such intense pressure triggers a surrender to God for the strength that we cannot seem to muster on our own. In a posture of surrender, let us acknowledge that God’s grace is sufficient for us and accept that His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Let’s train ourselves to delight in our weaknesses for Christ’s sake, and declare in those moments that we are strong in the Lord. When we are completely weak, we can be made strong by rendering the weight in our lives to God, who has promised that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). When we truly believe that God is going to handle every battle of ours (2 Chronicles 20:15), we can receive the blessing of being strong in the Lord. “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” (Psalm 31:24)

Be Blessed!
