Nothing and no one is holy like God,
no rock mountain like our God.
EPHESIANS 6:10 (GNT)
Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.
THE ESSENCE
It's presumptuous to assume power apart from a connection with the Lord and his power.
DAILY FODDER
What does it look like, practically speaking, to "build up your strength in union with the Lord"?
PRAYER
I am grateful, God, that no one can match your holiness—your strength. No adversary can thwart you or those in solidarity with you. Forgive my weak moments when I attempt to muster strength to meet the challenges of life on my own. I'm too much of an independent operator. Strengthen my connection with you and the outflow of your power in my life so that I can honor you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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 in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
