“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” (Ephesians 6:10, ESV) “Charles Atlas” stands gazing at his own physique – this looks like strength from a worldly viewpoint, but it is the worse form of weakness – trusting in our own strength fails every time. When we are ‘strong in the Lord’ we are truly strong because it is the might of God that is our strength and he is ALMIGHTY! To be ‘almighty’ is to be able to do all things – nothing is too big for the Lord and so let us fix our hope on him and his strength. Take good care of the earthly temple God has given us, but never put any hope in what we can do in our own body but only what we can do in Christ – for apart from him we can do nothing!
