IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, MARCH 25, 2012
THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Psalm 24:8
It is the Lord our God who is strong, who is mighty. In our weakness, he prevails. Apostle Paul reminds us in Second Corinthians that we are made strong by the power of Christ Jesus. It is the grace of Christ Jesus which is sufficient for us in our weakness and in our powerlessness. Paul says, " Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong"(2 Corinthians 12:10).
Our strong and mighty Savior is the provision that we need in every battle and every circumstance. As the Beloved of Christ we have the wonderful privilege of casting our cares upon our Lord. In fact, we are instructed to cast all our care upon him because "he cares for you". And for those of us who are humble, we have the honor of being protected under the mighty hand of God.
Our strength will come as we dwell in Christ. In Him we are to live, and move, and have our being. The church shall say: " For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy" (Psalm 61:3).
Today, let us be strong in the Lord!
