8/9 1 Corinthians 16:13
13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous.[a] Be strong.
STRENGTH
We worry a lot about strength-
Will I last?
Will I stand?
Will others think I am strong?
Do I think I am strong.
God says for us to be on guard-there is a spiritual war going on.
God says stand firm in your faith-someone is always challenging it.
Fear makes us foolish, therefore God calls us to be courageous
And to trust Him.
God gives us His strength, so use it.
Trust in God.
