Today's Verse: Ephesians 6:10

Wednesday, October 27, 2021

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

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Some of our strength to fight evil comes from our experiences in the past, from the encouragement of others, and from our knowledge of the truth in the Scriptures. Ultimately, however, our power comes from God's mighty power. Paul uses his letter to the Ephesians to remind Christians that this power is what raised Jesus from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-20). Through that power in us, God can do much more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20-21). Most important of all, as we put on our spiritual armor and dedicate ourselves to spiritual discipline, God blesses us with his power and might. We can be strong in God's mighty power.

My Prayer...

O Lord God Almighty, my Abba Father and loving Shepherd, strengthen me with your might and grace so that I can withstand the attacks and temptations of the evil one. In Jesus' name I ask it. Amen.
