Be Strong In The Lord

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."  Ephesians 6:10.  Strength is applauded and power is cherished.  The church is not to find strength and power in the world, but in the Lord.  Strength and power are vital in the Christian fight against evil and the devil.  The devil is an enemy that is cunning.  The devil can only be defeated with the help of the Lord.  The Lord's power and strength is not found in numbers or resources.  We surrender.  We commit.  We understand that the Lord's power can defeat all enemies.  The Lord's strength will always suffice, and with the Lord's strength comes victory.  The Lord knows no defeat.  The church must always rely upon this power.  The Lord's power is an unseen power and comes through our faith and trust.  Our engagement is not carnal, but spiritual.  To overcome, we must have a dependence upon the power that creates and destroys.  We must have a reliance upon the strength that builds up and tears down.  Take your stand against the enemy by being strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
