Daily Thoughts - Strength
""Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough." Luke 13:24
"Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' "" Luke 13:35
The son of man journeys to Jerusalem, as do we whether we realize it or not. The last couple of days it has been the word strength or strong that has captured my attention. Jesus leaned on His Father, knowing what lay ahead. The challenges of the day He faced with grace and a knowledge that the fight was all around disguised by worldly activities.
Time in prayer with the Word of God opens our eyes to what is going on. It also gives us strength for we are not to lean upon our own understanding, we are to trust in God for each day. Are you strong enough to with stand the test. The test is coming, in fact we are in the test, it is called life. Do we witness to the truth or do we deny the truth. "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." And therefore I lay claim to God's promise, not fully knowing but fully trusting. "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4b
Dear Father, I know not what tomorrow brings but yet in a sense I do. I pray that I have the strength that is needed, I have an understanding that it is You within that will with stand the test. I trust in You for this day and the days beyond, leads us into the Holy City so we can come into Your presence, sanctified by our journey together. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Full of Grace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
