Be Strong In the Lord

 📖 Finally,  be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power; Ephesians 6:10 (NRSV)

Our Banner Verse for Knights Of North Castle VBS.

We can not be strong on our own.

It has never been more evident to me than in the last month or so. 

Dad couldn't be strong on his own...not when given a paralytic and then heavily sedated...for over 3 weeks. He had no strength, no strength to breathe without assistance.  Not now, when his mind and body haven't yet cleared completely of the sedation affects, and are having to relearn things.

And mom!? Who hadn't driven enough to say so in over four years, who had never spent a night alone...now finds the strength to drive most days an hour one way. And has been living alone for over a month, doing the things dad had done for her.

📖 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10(NIV)

And the people who are suffering; sickness, tragedy and loss who show up...for Sunday service, show up for VBS, to give, for the week, of what they have left.

📖 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV)

Before we can be strong in anything we must first be strong in our relationship with the Lord.  We draw strength from His might and power, because that may be all we have.

🙏I pray His strength and power be yours today, regardless of what you feel you have.❤
