Psalms 18:29,32,34 (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall\u2026It is God who arms me with strength\u2026He teaches my hands to make war,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following God does not make you a weakling and a worm. You are a worm and a weakling without God, but in God, you have the Almighty on your side. By God and in God, you are more than a conqueror. In God and by God, you are a terror to your enemies. In God, you are armed with strength to break and to overcome the troops of hell, to scale every wall of opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t think following God makes you an easy prey to every work of wickedness. Don\u2019t think that humility means you don\u2019t have the right to stand for righteousness. Don\u2019t think that depending on God means you let God fight while you sleep. God will make you fight. You will bend bows of steel. You will be valiant. You will be strong. God isn\u2019t raising wimpy kids. He\u2019s raising warriors who know what it means to stand for truth and defend righteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t ever give excuses for not fighting in the spirit. Confront evil also in every form, without using the weapons of the evil one. Stand for truth and justice. Don\u2019t sit there wimpy, waiting for God to do everything. Get involved by His mighty power at work in you and He will work through you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018O thank you, Lord, for this understanding today. I was beginning to believe that the consecrated life meant I needed to be wimpy, silent and always vulnerable. Now I know that through God and in God\u2019s way, I am meant to stand strong and act strong in God and for God. Strength is of God and they who humble themselves in God are strong in God. Amen.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Psalms 18:29,32,34 (NKJV) \u2018For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall\u2026It is God who arms me with strength\u2026He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.\u2019 Following God does not make you a weakling and a worm.
