Week 50 – Ephesians 6:10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. – Ephesians 6:10 (KJV)

Theme: God’s Marching Orders

In the last section of his letter to God’s people in Ephesus, Paul encouraged the Ephesians to “be strong in the Lord” and put on the “full armor of god” (Ephesians 6:10-11). Throughout the letter Paul gave instructions on how to walk faithfully with Christ as individuals, as families, and as a church body. But he knew that walk would not be easy—that non-believers and Satan himself would plot against them—so he closed his message by urging the Ephesians to prepare for spiritual battle and rely on God’s mighty power.

We need that same message more than ever today.

Like the Ephesians, we must also prepare for spiritual battle as we go about our daily lives. Despite the tremendous blessings of living in a free society, a faithful walk with Christ is not easy in today’s world. Just as it was when Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus, today there are enemies of God who challenge the teachings of Christ and plot against those who follow Him. The good news is this: for the last 50 weeks we’ve been sharpening the primary weapon we need to be victorious in that spiritual battle. That weapon is the Sword of the Spirit, God’s Word, and we have “hidden [it] in our hearts.”

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
