Ep. 35:

Welcome to another episode of "Renewed Strength," where we explore ways to fortify both our bodies and spirits. Today, we’re diving into the concept of building strength, not just physically, but spiritually as well.

Why do we build strength? For athletes, it’s often about enhancing performance and overcoming greater resistance. This can mean improving speed, increasing endurance, or enhancing agility. It's also crucial for preventing injuries by stabilizing joints and supporting muscles. Athletes may focus on building strength to reach peak performance levels, break personal records, or compete at higher levels.

For everyday individuals, it's about enduring the weight of daily life—like lifting our children, carrying groceries, or helping push a car with a dead battery. It's about maintaining independence—rising from a chair or the couch on our own. Building physical strength is essential for navigating these tasks and preventing injuries that can arise from simple daily activities.

But what about our spiritual strength? Ephesians 6:10 encourages us to "be strong in the Lord." Spiritual strength is crucial for facing the challenges and battles in the spiritual realm. It empowers us to withstand the storms of life, to be a beacon of support for others, and to resist the temptations and attacks from the enemy. The beauty of spiritual strength is that while we play a role in nurturing it, the bulk of our strength is a gift from God. That's why the scripture continues, "Be strong in the Lord, and in His mighty power." Personally, I like the wording in the King James version that says, "In the power of His might." We must invite Him into our lives, allowing His power to fill our hearts and guide our actions.

This week, I challenge you to open your heart wider to God's presence. Invite Him into every corner of your life. As you do, you’ll find access to a divine strength that empowers you to stand firm against any opposition.
