Strength

Our passage today is an answer to a question ... actually, two questions. So let’s check them out.

It was going to be a tough meeting. Those sitting around the table had some real issues with each other. You could feel the tension—so thick you could cut it with a knife, as the saying goes. I knew this time together could blow up in my face.

All we have—life, strength, our relationship with God, everything we need—comes from our Savior. Indeed, Jesus is our source of life.

No longer contained in the body of a baby; no longer confined to a cross; on that day, Jesus will come with the “fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.”

The key to spiritual life is surrender. I must always relent to the Spirit for the resources and strength to please God.

Jesus is the horn of salvation. He is the only One who has the power to save.

God uses life’s challenges to “wrestle” with us and help us see that he is stretching and molding us into the person he wants us to be.

The same God who provided for Abraham in his time of testing will also provide for you.

Here is a prayer that addresses daily spiritual needs.
