Armed with strength – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” (Psalm 18:32)Dear friend, may God bless you today and prosper everything you do. God’s promise for you for today is from Psalm 18:32, “It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” God is the One who keeps our way perfect and arranges everything for us in the way of life. Our God is a God who arms us with strength. That’s why the Bible says in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” We also see in Psalm 18:39, “You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.” Yes, God arms us with strength to fight our battles and be victorious.
God doesn’t arm us for battle that destroy others but to battle spiritually so that we can bring Jesus into their lives. He gives us strength to be patient and to endure everything for the sake of Christ. He gives us strength to be humble in all circumstances and allow Jesus to be lifted up in our lives. That’s why He gives us strength. This will turn God’s adversaries into God’s children. That is the power only God has and He gives us that power by strengthening us through Christ. Thanks be to God for the strength that Jesus Christ got through His sacrifice on the cross.Even today as we get strengthened it keeps our way secure and perfect and everything is provided for in our lives. If you read Proverbs 3:6 it says, “in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” When we submit to God, He strengthens us and we will receive strength from Jesus. Then He will make our paths straight. Everything will be perfected by God. What a great God! He gives us strength to submit to Him. In Proverbs 31:17 we read of a woman of noble character and how her arms are strong for her tasks. A woman has to carry her whole family, carry herself, her profession and carry others in the profession too and God says when she is noble carrying Christ, He will give strength to go about her tasks vigorously. God will empower you with such strength. There will be no weakness or nothing lacking. Only humble yourself before Him and submit to Him.Prayer:Loving Father,
Bless me according to Your promise today. Strengthen me for all my tasks for today and help me accomplish it with great honor and with great peace. Let everything be perfected in my life by You as Your strength fills me. Help me to show You to the world and so that they experience You in their life. Thank You for this blessing Lord.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
