Be constant in this!

2 Timothy 2:1 (Amp) says: “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.” To be strong is to have physical, moral or intellectual power. It also means: one who is not mild or weak; intense and extreme. Paul told Timothy to be strong and constantly strengthened in the grace that is ONLY FOUND in Christ Jesus! Notice that it says that we are to be strengthened constantly! It’s a daily discipline. We need to be intense and extreme in our pursuing the strength that is found in His grace! It’s time to go all in. Become a radical disciple of Christ. Let the world see Jesus in you! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). When the storms come, they won’t overwhelm you. When the fire comes, it won’t burn you. When the flood comes, it won’t drown you. Why, because you are strong in His grace. And where do we find this strength and grace? Well, it’s like Paul said. It’s only found in Christ Jesus!

2 Timothy 2:1 “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.”

Don’t worry. He will help and strengthen you!

It’s takes a firm commitment and love to walk uprightly. While most people don’t care what they say, think or do, those who love God choose to please God in their daily lives. King David said this: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14). He prayed to God for help to live righteously because he knew that without God’s help, he would mess up. He knew that God was not only His Redeemer, He was also his strength. You might be going through a challenge living for God in the midst of an unredeemed world, but be reminded today that God is your strength and redeemer. He will help you to live uprightly before Him. And even when you mess up, His love and forgiveness are always there for you. Be strengthened today. There are those who are observing you, and they are thinking “if he can live for God, then maybe I can to. Have a blessed weekend!
