Encourage Yourself in the Lord: Standing Strong in Faith

[christianityoriginal]

*#savioroftheworld #neitherjewnorgentile #intheLord #crazystupidlove* http://ChristianityOriginal.com/Kingdom Now Jesus had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town called Sychar. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. ) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you---I am he.” Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony. So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “Now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” John 4:4-42 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=613355897489529&set=a.549191003906019&type=3

“Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD ’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to GOD! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor GOD with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don’t, dear friend, resent GOD ’s discipline; don’t sulk under his loving correction. It’s the child he loves that GOD corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-12‬ ‭MSG‬‬ http://bible.com/97/pro.3.5-12.msg #trust #inthelord #myfavoritescripture #verseoftheday #youversionbibleapp #readthebibledaily #themessagebible (at Lee County, North Carolina)

[youngdisciples]

When people ask us to be strong, sometimes it's very funny and foolish in our ears. How can we stay strong amidst a weakening situation? How can we stay strong amidst all of the things happening around? Sometimes, a shallow cheer is foolish to hear. Cheering someone to stay strong in a weakening situation is just like telling someone who is drowning that they can do it if they just do their best not to drown. It doesn’t change the situation. However, a cheer to be strong with encouragement that God is always in control is the best one. 

Our verse today is like the end and conclusion of a thought but Paul actually put this first before talking about the full armor of God. This is also a cheer but with a promise and with a hope that we will really definitely get past in any situation. Paul wants to remind us that we should always be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. The reason why Paul put this verse first before stating all the analogies of a soldier’s full armor is because he wants to remind us that everything still comes from the Lord. 

We should always be reminded that our strength, our true strength can only be found in God. We can never find true strength in our own or from anything because we will really fail. Again, a shallow cheer is foolish to hear. A cheer to be strong, a cheer that says we can do it is foolish because we know that we can never succeed or be strong on our own, we are always dependent on God. We always need His mighty power and His strength to help us pass our situation. 

So, Paul wrote this first to remind us before he lists all the things we need, that our strength should always come from God who makes everyone strong and new. He is cheering us but not a shallow cheer but it is meaningful cheer that really guarantees us the success and the comfort that we need. Indeed, our strength should always come from the Lord, who is the maker of heaven and earth. 

This kind of cheer asking us to be strong is the cheer we need. Also, with prayer, we can then be strong in the Lord. However, why do we need to be strong in Him? Why can’t we just be strong for ourselves? Or just be strong on our own? Why do we have to base everything on God? Well, Paul also knew that we will ask this kind of question so he also answered this question in the succeeding verse that can really open our eyes. 

We need to be strong in the Lord and trust His mighty power instead of ours because we are incapable of winning in the first place. We can never win and we can never uplift ourselves. Also, our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). All our struggles came from one source, and that is from our enemy. He will always try to take us away from God and he is always trying to weaken us by attacking us in our most vulnerable self. 

We should always remember that spiritual battle is far more real than our earthly battles. As Christians who are already following Christ, we already died with Christ on the cross and He has given us a new self already. So, our sinful nature is already gone but it will always try to resurface and that is where our enemy’s target. His goal is to hit us directly in our sinful cravings so we will once again fall down together with him. After all, all he wants is to steal, kill and destroy. 

Therefore, God knows this struggle and He perfectly knows that this ongoing between the enemy’s scheme and us is real, He knows that it will really weaken us. It will affect us in every aspect and it will try to hit us either through real-life situations or spiritually concerned situations. So, God used Paul to remind us that we should always be strong but this is not a shallow reminder just like people telling us “you can do it” but this is a reminder to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. We should always take note of the whole sentence “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power,” for this denotes our reliance on God and not on our own. 

Just like how we depend on Christ for our salvation, let us all put everything in Him. Let us be strong in Him and His mighty power. We have to understand that He even defeated sin and death, so how much more if we put our reliance and our need for strength in Him? We will definitely win and we will definitely have our victory over the enemy’s scheme. Jesus Christ will always be there to stand in our stead everytime we feel weak and heavy burdened. He will always be there to replenish our strength everyday, we just only have to pray and ask Him for help. 

Again, we should not cheer someone to be strong shallowly for it is foolish, but instead, we should cheer someone to be strong meaningfully by telling them that their strength can only be found in Christ so pray. We should also pray for each other so that we will have the upperhand and the enemy will never be able to penetrate our defense for God is our frontliner of defense. We should always remember to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. For only if we recognize weakness, we will then be opening our hearts for Christ who strengthens us.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12. . . Been pondering this verse all morning...is this how we feel when we’re hoping and longing for something that has yet to come? I️ don’t know if we would call our hearts “sick” per se, but there is a definite uneasiness and tension when what we believe God has promised is different from what the reality of our current lives are. Sometimes, in waiting on these promises, it’s possible that our hearts may become “sick” in different ways—maybe hardened, fragile, calloused, sensitive, anxious, uncomfortable, on-edge, discouraged, grieved, weak—each passing day making it more difficult to cling to our hope and faith in Him. . . So what do we do, then? What does it take to reach this “tree of life” in which our hopes and dreams will be fulfilled? One pastor (John Piper) put it powerfully: “The meaning of an empty tomb or the opening of a closed tomb is that God has begun a campaign with Jesus Christ to open a million doors of hope to people who trust in him.” Maybe our “sickness”—our fear, shame, frustration, depression, or anything else we may be wrestling with—isn’t so much to do with what we don’t yet have, but with whom we don’t yet trust. Have we put our complete faith and trust in our Lord Jesus? Or are we halfheartedly waiting for the things He’s promised, hoping that they will somehow satisfy the longing in our hearts? . . #prayerjourney #foodforthought #treeoflife #dailybread #dailyquestions #hope #intheLord #Heisfaithful #devoted #believer #follower #dancer #arabesque #shadows (at Chelsea, Manhattan)
