But you, LORD,
are a mighty soldier,
standing at my side.
1 TIMOTHY 1:12 (CEV)
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me the strength for my work because he knew he could trust me.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
It's the strength of God himself which strengthens us to carry out his assignments.
DAILY FODDER
If God gives us strength, how is it that we flounder about when it comes to acting on his assignments?
PRAYER
I praise you, Lord, for your strength during the days that aren't easy. You are consistently mighty and awesome, but I fail to remember your power. Forgive me. Fortify my spiritual muscles with the protein of your word and the conditioning excercises of daily life in you. May my days be for your glory and for my good. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
