Strength for Today

Strength for the Journey

Scripture
Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Ephesians 6:10 (KJV)

Reflection

Strength for today does not always come the way we expect. Ephesians 6:10 promises, "Be strong in the Lord, and in…" — and the Lord's strength is given in measure for the moment, not stockpiled for tomorrow. He gives manna, not warehouses. Today, ask Him for what today needs. He will not run out. The strength He gives is not always the strength to do great things; sometimes it is the strength to endure quietly, to keep loving, to keep showing up, to keep trusting. That, too, is strength of the highest order. Lean on Him. He will be your strength when you have none of your own.

Prayer

God of all power, fill me with quiet confidence today. Walk with me through every challenge. Amen.
