Devotion Today: A Reliable Strength.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

So many things in life present itself to us on daily basis. Sometimes, the idea that there's a reliable friend, uncle, brother, sister, In-law, pastor or cousin, tend to boost our strength. But a time comes that we realize that none of these people are really reliable. Even our wealth of knowledge and professionalism fails when we need them most. Thus, the heart of men yearns for a reliable source of unfailing strength.

To be strong and not be exhausted, we must BE STRONG IN CHRIST. Over the ages, it has been proven that only strength in Christ is eternally tangible and unfailing. To be strong in Christ, we must allow Him bear our burdens. We must refuse to do it our way, no matter how much we know. We must cast all our cares upon Christ who cares more than we do. We must allow the most powerful personality handle our issues.

It's when we are vulnerable in total surrender to Him that His strength is made perfect in our weakness(2Cor. 12:9). Thus we must choose His strength and might in order to remain unshakable by the winds of life's issues. Rely on Christ for strength today.

Let's pray together.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your strength upon us. Please help us to depend on you fully and strengthen us to fulfill our destinies, in Jesus name. Amen.
