You’ve come out to fight me with a sword and a spear and a dagger. But I’ve come out to fight you in the name of the Lord All-Powerful. He is the God of Israel’s army, and you have insulted him too! ~ 1 Samuel 17:45 (CEV)
God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers... ~ Ephesians 2:6 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
God is all-powerful and can empower us so that we, his followers, share in his strength.PRAYER:
All-powerful God, thank you for strengthening me. I can point to so many times when your strength has carried me through difficulty. But there are times when I have neglected to seek your strength. No good excuse. I'm just not so smart. But I'm hoping to put all of that behind me. I don't want to dwell on past failures but to focus on facing the current giants with the strength you provide. It's a new day, a new battle, and I'm asking your Holy Spirit to transform me into one of your strong followers. Amen.
