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;
Revelation 1:8). 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.
I certainly feel weak … most of the time. The many health issues with which I
deal often make even getting out of bed a challenge. Yet, I still have to take
care of the major priorities on my “to do” list. So I pray for extra strength …
a lot. And my Lord God provides just what I need to do what needs to be done.
And so I “… 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 59:6).
For He is indeed power in me.
