The words of Paul in this passage of scripture come rocketing through the ages to those of us who live in the 21st Century and are desiring to live a life that pleases the Lord. Paul's words concerning how to live a life of significance and power pierce through our culture and decimate what we have been brain-washed to believe on television and read about in our newspapers and magazines. If your goal is to live a life of power, you will listen to and then obey these ancient words that are just as applicable today as they were 2,000 years ago. The exclamation point of Christian living is proclaimed at the very beginning of this passage of scripture, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might!" Paul declares that the very most important piece of training advice that he would give to any soldier is to be strong in the Lord! God's will for your life is to be a strong Christian who is not easily swayed by the winds of life or by the roar of circumstances. God has even made it possible for you to be infused with His very own strength! When you hire a personal trainer, they can tell you what to do and even design an exercise routine that will best fit your particular body type. But, what they are not able to do is to take their strength and muscular prowess and transfer it to you. Only God can do that!
