 Subject: The Lord JesusSCRIPTURE: Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord's mighty power within you. Eph. 6:10 OBSERVATION: There are four parts of this one very important Truth/Word of Life. First is "Your strength": This strength is in and for all situations and every part of our life. This is the strength to stand, to speak, to act, to deal with evil-temptations-struggles of life, to believe, to witness, to remain resolute, to walk our "talk", etc. Second is "must come". There are many sources of strength: bodies, mind, will, others, position, power, wealth, associations. We would chose any of these. But there is only one source of strength for a Disciple and it is the Third part - "The Lord". He is the Living Son of God. He is our Savior and the Lord of our life. He has full reign in every part of our life. Fourth is "within you". If He is not in your heart, He is not in you. If you have not surrendered your life to Him, He is not in you. If you do not love Him totally, He is not in you. APPLICATION: Jesus is in me. I do love Him. I have surrendered to Him, I do have faith in Him. I can do nothing to deserve the privilege of Christ living in me. He is the true/ultimate source of my strength. PRAYER: Father, I love Jesus my Savior and Lord!! Amen!! |
