ITS OKAY TO BE STRONG
God is strong, and he wants you strong.
EPHESIANS 6:10 MSG
A s we begin this journey of becoming strong, lets first settle something in our hearts:
Strong is not wrong.
Too often Christian women are associated with weakness rather than strength. Sometimes religion has taught us to hide rather than to rise. It is true that we are called to be meek, but not weak. Meek is best defined as strength under control. Both Moses and Jesus were meek, but not weak. The meek know their strength comes from God. Esther was meek, but she was no weakling. The meek are also the humble because they understand that their strength comes from a higher power. The meek know how and when to fight, but they are not looking for one.
Strength is a two-edged sword that can be used as a weapon of destruction or a means of release that sets the captives free. It is not unusual that the first captive that requires release is ourselves.
This life requires strength. And as we live longer, life gets harder. Living godly in a godless culture will require much more strength than you or I can muster on our own. Thankfully we are not on our own. We are going to examine the following verses from Ephesians that outline why each of us must embrace the challenge and become strong. After describing how we interact in relationships, Paul begins Ephesians 6:1018 with Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power (v. 10).
Relationships require strength. But whenever I try to love or even like someone in my own strength I am doomed to fail. We have a very limited human capacity for the type of strength we need each day. This is why we tap into the strength and power of our Lord. Another version simply says it this way, God is strong, and he wants you strong ( MSG ).
God knows we are not strong so He makes us strong. David tapped into this source of strength when he was a worshipping shepherd. Our God is almighty to make us mighty. Our Father is all-powerful to give His daughters power. God has a plan for your life and the devil has a scheme. His scheme is to knock you out of Gods plan. I must warn you the devil will not fight fairly. The moment you became a daughter of God, you were marked by Gods Holy Spirit and noted by the enemy. Before your rebirth you were his slave, and now you are a target. But once we are acquainted with our source of true strength, its time to armor up. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes (Ephesians 6:11).
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are strong and You want me strong too. I will armor up to stand in Your plan.
BECAUSE GOD IS MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH.
CONFIDENT IN CHRIST
The L ORD s justice will dwell in the desert, his righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.
ISAIAH 32:1617
W hen you think of an image of a confident woman, what do you imagine? In magazines, in shops, and almost every time we look at a screen, we see the worlds idea of a confident womanturning heads with her control-assured smile and impeccable style. Its no coincidence that this confidence is often for sale, in the form of a beauty or lifestyle product that will take us from a less desirable before to a fabulous after. But in the long run, looking for affirmation from success or attractiveness is an empty pursuit. How many likes do we need on a photo or how many comments from strangers will it take for us to finally say, It is enough... I am whole? I promise you a million a day would never be enough to fill us.
If we trust in popularity or beauty, well constantly look to others to affirm our value and desirability. Our self-worth will be repeatedly jeopardized and threatened by other women, and our confidence will be fleeting. But there is another way. We have a Prince who is always willing to make beautiful the women who come to Him.
The confidence He gives us reaches deeper than we even know how to let anyone touch. Its more than just the window dressing or filter or a new accessory. It is the deep, warming glow that comes from the knowledge that we are loved and known deeply. When a woman is loved like this... it is seen. Christ Jesus has blessed us with His favor. It is time to allow His love to be more than enough and turn from looking elsewhere for fulfillment.
Its time to take a look at the before and after of our souls. Its time to truly appreciate what Christ has done and build our confidence upon it. The love He provides never fades. He longs to tenderly nurture each of us so we can blossom in His love.
