1 Corinthians 16:13
« Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. »
MEDITATION:
We strive to be strong but it’s often just a facade. Despite all our efforts, we realize that we are not up to the task.
Under our brave airs, we are prey to all sorts of fears, insecurities and defects.
Much of our masculinity is pure bluff.
Paul was man enough to admit it: « We too are weak in him » (2 Cor 13.4).
These are not pious words, but a statement that makes us humble. Yet, with seemingly contradictory statements, Paul insists that we must « show courage » (1 Cor 16:13)
How can we be the strong person God wants us to be? Only by putting ourselves back into the hands of God and asking Him to fulfill it in us by His power.
The true strength is the power of God that works in the soul.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, strengthen us at all times.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
