Hey all,
First on the list of the 12 "Be's".........is to Be Strong.
The Lord tells us we can be "strong" in Him. However, our strength does not come from our own physical abilities, but from the protection and strength that we receive from the Father. It comes from our relationship with Him.
Check this out. Our strength actually comes from the heart. It is not the worldly strength we most often think of when we think of what it means to be strong. Our strength comes from giving up all of our heart. It is about our belief and trust in Him.
Psalm 28:7 says...."The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped".
When we are protected, then we are safe. And when we feel safe, we feel a sense of security. It is when we are feeling secure, then we can live in our glory. We feel a sense of strength. You see, the Lord is our strength AND our shield. He protects us and gives His love, grace, and joy.
Nehemiah 8:10 says ....."for the joy of the Lord is my strength".
Through His endless love, grace, and joy........we are protected. He is our strength and our shield.
All he wants from us for this strength and protection is our heart. And when we give it completely to Him, then we are strong.
In Him.
