Truth: God Is Strong and He Wants Me Strong
By Jon Walker
And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. Ephesians 6:10 (MSG)
*** *** *** ***
In faith, I know this to be true:
God is strong, and he wants me strong.
Because God is strong, he can make me strong: “If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!” (Job 9:19 NIV).
Though my health seems weak, God will make me strong because he is strong.
Though I am exhausted, God will make me strong because he is strong.
God is strong and he wants me strong as I press on with my purpose: “Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess (Deuteronomy 11:8 NIV).
God is strong and he wants me strong to go where he wants me to go: “Be strong and very courageous. … Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7 NIV).
God is strong and he wants me strong so I can stay focused on my heavenly journey: “Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess (Deuteronomy 11:8 NIV).
God is strong and so I am strong, knowing that he is with me always: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV).
