Biblical Strength

I found this little tidbit here at Waveside Church in Malibu California..

I figured since the title of this blog is “Strength for the Week” it was about time that I cover the word strength from a biblical perspective. When you hear the word strength most often it is physical strength comes to mind but the title of these weekly encouragements and what the Bible addresses most often as strength has more to it. 2Corinthans 12:9 says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” The word strength comes from the Greek work dunamis which is a word for dynamic power. It is where we get our word dynamite. When you are at your wits end in a situation that is the opportune time to call on the strength of the Lord. Now, speaking from a guys perspective we tend to not make a habit of admitting we are weak so that is the first hurdle to clear before being able to access God’s power. Push pride aside to receive dynamic power from the creator of the universe! With God’s strength comes the power and ability to make necessary changes or adjustments for any situation. “In our weakness He is made strong.” God’s dynamic power can equip you to overcome any struggle you are in. Step aside, admit your shortcomings and watch the creator of strength perfect those things that concern you.

Just some food for thought.
