Be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
This sounds contradictory at first, until we realize that it is God who has all strength, power and glory, and He is the One who loved us enough to send us His Son. We certainly have to be alert, for there is no doubt that we are in a battle. Standing firm is only possible when we have faith, otherwise fear would overcome us. David encouraged his son Solomon: .Be strong,. and this is a particular encouragement to us men, for there are too many today who have no desire to fulfill their God ordained role. And the most important thing is to do what we do well, with the kind of love God has shown us.
Thank You for loving us, for saving us and empowering us; help us to be strong in You O Lord.
