“And we pray this in order that you may
live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit
in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with
all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance
and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you
to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.”
“I can do everything through Him who
gives me strength.”
Just take a moment and let that sink
in. Think back to all those times you have felt hopeless, knowing there was no
way you could finish a task on your own. We cannot do anything worth doing on
our own strength –it is only through God’s strength that we can press on toward
our goal. It pleases God when we rely on Him! Just like when we see someone who
needs help and we desire to help them out –finding joy when we do so—so it
pleases God when we fall back on His strength. Psalm 73:6 says that, “My flesh
and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.” When we let God take control of our lives, we find perfect peace in
His strength.
