Strong is Not Wrong

As we begin this journey of becoming strong, let’s first settle something in our hearts: strong is not wrong. Often Christian women are associated with weakness rather than strength, because sometimes religion has taught us to hide rather than to rise. 

It is true that we are called to be meek, but not weak. Meek is best defined as strength under control. Both Moses and Jesus were meek, but definitely not weak. Esther was meek, but she was no weakling. The meek are also the humble because they understand that their strength comes from God. 

This life requires strength. And as we live longer, life gets harder. Living godly in a godless culture will require much more strength than you or I can muster on our own. Thankfully we are not on our own. 

Relationships require strength. But whenever I try to love or even like someone in my own strength I am doomed to fail. We have a very limited human capacity for the type of strength we need each day. This is why we tap into the strength and power of our Lord. 

God knows we are not strong, so He makes us strong. Our God is almighty to make us mighty. Our Father is all-powerful to give His daughters power. David tapped into this source of strength when he was a worshipping shepherd. This same strength is available to you!

God has a plan for your life and the devil has a scheme. His scheme is to knock you out of God’s plan. The moment you became a daughter of God, you were marked by God’s Spirit and noted by the enemy. Before your rebirth you were his slave, and now you are a target. But once we are acquainted with our source of true strength, it’s time to rise. 

Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are strong, and You want me strong too. I will rise to step into Your plan for my life. 

Declare

I am strong, because God is my source of strength.
