The way of the Lord is strength for the upright!

So many people have said that they are very tired of always battling. There is always an issue to deal with; a problem with one of their children; issues at work; a disagreement with the spouse, etc. Their strength has been depleted due to the constant daily struggles and problems. God sees your struggles, and has made strength available for you in the Holy Ghost. Look at what these verses say to you today:

Nehemiah 8:10 – “The  joy of the Lord is your strength.” 

Isaiah 40:29 – “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”

Ephesians 3:16 – “He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”

Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

So you can see, you already have more strength than you need. It’s already available. All you have to do is ask, and you shall receive. God is waiting to shower you with new strength. Receive His strength today!

Proverbs 10:29  “The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity”

So you can see, you already have more strength than you need. It’s already available. All you have to do is ask, and you shall receive. God is waiting to shower you with new strength. Receive His strength today!

The Lord hates this!

In Proverbs 6, verses 16 through 19, the Lord describes seven things that He hates. Hate is a strong word. It means: “extreme dislike or disgust, antipathy, loathing”. Well, God says He hates…..are you ready for this one……He hates those that sow discord among the brethren (v. 19). This is really serious. There are many in churches today that have no thought about speaking terrible things about their brothers or sisters in Christ, and have no problem sharing gossip that can destroy their brethren. This will incur judgment from God. If we see this behavior anywhere, we really need to share Proverbs 6 with them. They probably are not even aware that this is a great sin. Paul said this to the brethren in Corinth: Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be  of one mind, united in thought and purpose (1 Cor 1:10 NLT). In John 17, Jesus prayed that we would be one with each other. Psalms 133: 1 says “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Verse 3 says: “For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore”. One behavior brings sin and judgement. The other releases life. I believe that we really need to stay away from sowing discord, and embrace unity among the brethren!
