8/20/09 My breath prayer for the day has been from Ephesians 6:10, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power." I will be preaching from this text on Sunday, so my study of the Greek reveals that the opening verb would be better translated as "be continually empowered." So we realize that is not so much a command to us as a process in us. We realize that is not our strength whether that is education, or money, or office, or body, but God's power at work in us. And we realize that this strength is not violent or aggressive, but is able to defend us against the worst foe even suprahuman powers and principalities.
Love,
Lynn
