Empowered

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10
Be strong. It sounds so cliche. I’m a mom; I know that I need to be strong for my children. The plate I carry isn’t always an easy one, and I know it takes strength to carry. Sometimes I even feel faint. And yes, I’ve heard it before. Be strong.
But wait, what did it say? “His might”? Yes, I read that right. It says “His Might”!
That changes everything. I need to be strong, but it’s through God’s power, not my own!
A weight feels lifted. And I’m feeling enlightened. Suddenly being strong doesn’t seem so hard to do.
“Lord Jesus, empower me in the strength of heaven to raise these children to do the same.”
