STRENGTH FROM GOD

​Have you ever played the game “tug of war?” In case you haven’t, let me briefly explain what it is. It’s basically a game where two teams test each other’s strength. Each team pulls on opposite ends of a rope and the goal is to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team’s pull.
 
Even though this is actually a fun game to play, this kind of strength is determined by how physically strong you are. Today, we will look at a different kind of strength that is beyond our own abilities. The strength that comes from God.
 
Let’s explore this a bit and look at 4 key things to remember when we talk about this type of strength:
 
1-Our strength comes from God
 
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.”
 
This is where we need to start. We must acknowledge the fact that what we do as children of God is not of our own strength.
Our strength comes from God and He is the reason we are equipped and enabled to do what He calls us to. We cannot truly do anything without God’s help and strength.
 
1-We constantly need God’s strength
 
1 Chronicles 16:11
“Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.”
 
We should be encouraged to always seek God for His strength. It allows us to remain humble and for God to be glorified in our lives for what He does. He deserves all the glory. Let us be people that continually seek God and not grow weary of doing so.
 
2-God’s strength is mighty
 
Ephesians 6:10
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.”
 
God doesn’t lose battles. God’s power is mighty and never fails. As God encourages us to be strong in Him, we can be assured that God will not only fight our battles for us, but He will victoriously win them as well. What a wonderful peace and hope this gives us, as we draw our strength from God.
 
3-God’s strength is always available
 
Isaiah 41:10
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
 
As children of God, no matter what we face in life, God’s strength is always available. God promises to provide strength and help to us. Whether it’s a pandemic, financial difficulty, uncertainty, depression, or all of the above let’s be encouraged in the fact that God is with us, God is for us, and God will strengthen and uphold us.
 
Some of the most important things we can learn from trying times is that we are not in control, we need God to move on our behalf, we need to always be thankful, and we need God’s strength in order to move forward.

In times like this, I am sure that most of the people who don't pray before have been learning how to pray now. They are rebuilding their connection with God, which is a good thing. I hope that we will all survive this pandemic and we will retain this relationship with God as soon as this health problem is done. Our strength will always come form God, and that is a fact that we cannot deny. I hope that all of us would learn to maintain this connection for the rest of our lives.
