Dear Young Christian:
It is good for us to learn early in our Christian experience that the source of our strength and might is not within ourselves but in the Lord Jesus Christ in glory. The Apostle Paul learned this, and by divine inspiration wrote the following: “Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power” (Colossians 1:11).
Are you strong physically but feel like you lack power in your Christian life? You will only have it as you walk each day conscious of the fact that your life is linked with the life of Christ in glory. That is the only source of true spiritual power. Without this divine power “Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:30-31).
Rely on the Lord’s power as you start your weekly routine. You may feel your own weakness, but “when I am weak, then am I strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
