Bible Ballistics: BBs #649 Jesus IS My Source Of Strength!!!
As many are struggling around us with the current crises, I simply want to take the time today to share with you some scriptures of encouragement. We all need to remember WHO is the source of life, hope, and salvation—Jesus!
“I will love thee, O LORD,
my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock,
and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
my God,
my strength,
in whom I will trust;
my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.” Psalm 18:1-2
He (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is our “high tower”, and so much more.
“The name of the LORD
is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10
Oh, how often I run into that “strong tower” when no one sees, when no one knows, when no one else understands—for HE reminds me that I am safe in HIS arms, under His wings there is comfort, help and restoration!
“Be merciful unto me, O God,
be merciful unto me:
for my soul trusteth in thee:
yea, in the shadow of thy wings
will I make my refuge,
until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high;
unto God
that performeth all things for me.” Psalm 57:1-2
How often I need to be reminded that my strength comes when I kneel—rather than when I try to stand in my own strength, wisdom or power! He is my all in all—always!
“Where there is neither
Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free:
but Christ is all,
and in all.” Colossians 3:11
We can know that Christ Jesus is in us, because He has promised His Holy Spirit to all who come to Him in repentance and faith, in fact The Holy Spirit in us IS the evidence that we are HIS! And Jesus gave us His promise that His Spirit will be with us.
“These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send
in my name,
he shall teach you
all things,
and bring all things
to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said
unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.” John 14:25-27
And may the words of Paul comfort and encourage us to keep our eyes “fixed on Jesus”, and not only receive His comfort and strength but share HIM with those around us!
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called
in one body;
and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly
in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing
one another
in psalms
and hymns
and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts
to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do
in word or deed,
do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks
to God and the Father
by him.” Colossians 3:15-17
“Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13
Amen and Amen!!!
