Friday’s Devotion – Strong in the Lord


Ephesians 6:10  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

I watched the Olympics again last night.  The BMX races were crazy.  In one heat the rider in second place crashed and took out the entire rest of the field with him.  These riders must have really strong legs.  The women divers were amazing as they slowly rose to handstands and then held them perfectly straight for several seconds. The runners had big muscles in their legs and in their arms.  However, I don’t think any Olympic athlete no matter how strong physically could succeed without extreme inner strength.  It was nice to see many winners giving the glory to God. Joe and I work with weights and it’s nice to begin to see a little muscle developing and to feel stronger.  I never want to get to the point where I couldn’t get up off the floor by myself should I fall.  But that doesn’t negate our need for the inner strength we get from God.  We know if we should fall in other ways, God will be there to lift us up.  It takes dedication and work to be strong in body and strong in the Lord.  But it definitely pays off!

Holy God, Thank you for the strength you offer us.  Keep us close and help us get through each day.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a blessed day!
