Christ's Might in Us (2 Cor. 13:1-4)

Today’s scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:1-4

“Christ … is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.”

Our God—Father, Son, and Spirit—is all powerful and almighty (Genesis 17:1; Revelation1:8). He is our stronghold (2 Samuel 22:3; Psalm 9:9; 62:2). And Jesus Christ, God the Son, is in each of us who has accepted the gift of salvation through His death, burial, and resurrection. He is indeed “mighty” in each of us.

And because He provides strength in us, although we are “weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward” each of us.

These are amazing, affirming, encouraging, and humbling words.

Lately, I’ve been reminded of how weak I am. Stress from all that’s on my plate has cause a fairly major fibro flare-up and multiple muscle spasms. Just getting out of bed has been a challenge. Yet, I still have to take care of the major priorities on my “to do” list. So I’ve been praying for extra strength … a lot. And my Lord God has provided just what I need to do what needs to be done.

And so I can “… sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress (Psalm 59:16).

For He is indeed power in me.
