Be Strong in Him

EPH 6:10 
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 

How many of us are going through something? Put your hand down I already know. How do I know? Because almost all of us are battling with something in some shape or form. If you are a follower of Christ, you are dealing with something.

Is this a bad thing? Not necessarily no it just means that the enemy fears you so he is paying a lot of attention to you. It's all good don't be upset or scared that the enemy is messing with you and doesn't like you. If it makes you feel better he doesn't like Jesus either.

So, your going through something and your struggling a little bit or maybe even a lot, it happens. I hate to admit it but there are times that I struggle also.  Sometimes I am impatient, sometimes I like to argue with God, don't lift your brows you know you fight and argue with God too. We all do it every now and then. So what do you do when your struggling to catch your footing?

Well here is a good start, get into the word. You may be saying where at? If you don't know much about God's Word aka the Bible than Google may be your best friend, isn't it anyway? Pinpoint the struggle and Google the problem and use the Bible to your advantage. Maybe it's a healing thing look up scripture about healing to help encourage you and keep you going. Maybe it's a sexual sin the Word is filled with verses. No matter the struggle God's word is your guide to get you through.

Next thing you have to keep up with is prayer. Oh yes prayer. Prayer is communication between you and God. You may say God already knows and yes I am sure He does but prayer is good for us. We got to get all that stuff that is locked up on the inside of us out. We have to pray. There is something about us speaking and interceeding that can help bring about change. The Bible says we have not because we ask not. Does it matter if God knows or not? Nope. Here is something that prayer does, it keeps relationship alive between us and God. Isn't it something when Adam and Eve sinned they tried to hide themselves from the Lord? How you going to hide from God?

Once we get into the word to get encouraged and once we pray which means keeping our relationship on a good level than this makes the 3rd thing so much easier.

Our verse says be strong in the Lord... and in the power or strength of His might. This verse is talking about leaning and trusting in God and His strength, His might. God will see you through but you got to believe that He can do this thing. God is all powerful, and guess what? If you are a Christian that's your Father. He's got you through thick and through thin.

I don't know what your dealing with and facing but I do know this, if God be for you, who can be against you? When Job went through his mess he still trusted God even though his wife and so called friends said not to. His wife even said, curse God and die.... wow how would you like her for a wife? Juse saying. But anyways I want to encourage you today to trust in God, His strengh, His power, His might. We all go through seasons.. but it's just that, a season.

Be blessed!
