Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Every week we receive emails, and sometimes phone calls, from people who are struggling or going through trials and tough times.
And although we are pastors, and we teach God’s word and encourage people on a daily basis, we are not immune to some of those same trials. We all face things from time to time that try to knock us down and keep us from moving forward with God.
It’s because we have also gone through trials that we have learned how to press in to God and be strong in Him when our own strength seems spent. It’s because we have gone through hard times in many different ways that we can empathize with all of you and relate to where you’re at, and offer counsel based on our own experiences.
And it’s because we have walked through these hard times and come through them victoriously that we can tell all of you to be strong in Him and in His might.
You see, when we have been knocked down and our face is in the dirt, it’s then that we need to realize that God is the one who gives us what we need to push through and keep going.
Our own strength is limited and will run out after a while. But His strength will never fail us. He will never abandon us or leave us to wither and die.
It’s when we’re at our weakest that we need to look up and reach out to Him and grab hold of Him with everything in us, and draw our strength from Him.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness”…
It’s when we’re at our weakest that His strength shines, if we let it!
So we encourage you, no matter where you’re at right now, in this moment, to hold fast to your faith, and never let go.
Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Maybe we can’t do this. At least not on our own. But we can do it with God’s help, if we don’t let go of our faith.
Let’s hold fast to our faith!
