My strength comes from the Lord.

“My strength comes from the Lord.”

Where does your strength come from? If it comes from your bank account — or your education — or your emotions — then these things can fade.

“If God is for us, then who can be against us.” As a Christian, your true strength comes from Jesus Christ who lives within you. The good news is — you can never truly be defeated! If someone is stronger than you — they are not stronger than God. If someone is wiser than you — they are not wiser than God. Christ in you is the hope of glory.

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.” So you can go into life victorious — because the God of the Bible lives in all those who have truly accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior.

This week, let us pray that

• God will help us reach even more people each week with the gospel of Jesus Christ
• God will help you know the power and strength that you have in Christ

God is in you! He is the source of the greatest power the world has ever known. “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.”

“What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:31 - 39)
