Be Strong in the Lord and in His Mighty Power

In title, this is a message from Paul to the people of Ephesus but it was more likely meant for a broader group of Gentiles.

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10

I think it is a message for all of us—you and me—and generations to come. I have found that one of the Secrets to Life is BELIEVE. Paul’s thoughts of “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power” are the essence of BELIEVE. You can do anything, be anything if you just BELIEVE. If you are strong in the Lord, and HIs beyond mighty power, what can’t you do? As I say over and over again, the only thing holding you back is doubt and the only one holding you back is you.

Tap into the all-mighty power of God. Be strong in Him today!

Do You Know Your Life Path?

We all have a life path. There is one straight direction leading to our Creator, but for almost all of us the path is twisty, bumpy and has offshoots that are dead ends. But that one clear, straight, smooth path exists—we just have to LISTEN to God to find it.

I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
Isaiah 48:17

Be Strong & Bold!

Just one quick but good thought for the day…

Be strong and bold… because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

These were among Moses parting words to the Israelites when he told them that they would be crossing over into new land—the Promised Land.

A new anything—job, move, etc.—can seem daunting. But be strong and bold moving forward. God goes with you if you keep Him with you.

Your Promised Land waits!

On God, Moving Mountains, and Doubt

Let me make this very clear—You can move mountains in your life! God made you, is in you, and has built power in you that few realize or understand. You can do anything. The only thing holding you back is you—and doubt. My bet is that right now doubt is in your mind saying, “This is nonsense.” Continue reading “On God, Moving Mountains, and Doubt”

The Little Red Devil in Your Ear

There is a devil whispering in your ear, including mine—including us all. The problem is that devil is real, not little, and not like some cute child dressed up for Halloween. If we listen to the devil we will hear him. If we give in to his temptation we will slide way off the straight path of life and end up in a dead end—or worse. That’s why we have to FIGHT the devil every day. And as I have written many times, the way we FIGHT is to Continue reading “The Little Red Devil in Your Ear”

Not Just Another Day. It’s the Lord’s Day!

It doesn’t matter what today holds for you—good news or bad, work or vacation. There is one incontestable, immutable fact—today is one of a kind. Other days to come may look like a repeat of today but when today is gone it is gone. So, get the most out of today. And remember that this day, like every day, was created by the Lord. So, treat it as such and find something to rejoice in it.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Bible Verse to Live Life By

It’s impossible to single out one Bible verse or passage to live life by because there are so many. However, for me Psalm 23 says it all. The Lord takes care of everything. No matter how bad things get He is always there. Even in the face of my “enemies” the Lord provides. Goodness and mercy are always there leading to a clear path to eternity. I not only have Psalm 23 committed to memory but I try to make it a part of my being. It’s a great tonic when times get tough! Continue reading “Bible Verse to Live Life By”

God Wants You to Enjoy Life to the Fullest!

Don’t let one day of your life pass you by. Not one day! Enjoy every day—every moment! We all have good and bad days. That’s what being human on this earth is about. But God clearly wants us to enjoy every day. Continue reading “God Wants You to Enjoy Life to the Fullest!”

God’s Always Home Waiting

We get lost on occasion. We stray from home. Sometimes we even leave home and squander everything we have been given. But God is always home, waiting for us to come back. In fact, he is less than a heartbeat away. We simply have to come back home to Him. Continue reading “God’s Always Home Waiting”
