Ephesians 6:10
“A
final word: be strong in
the Lord and in His mighty power.”
It’s in the heart of man to want to have the last word in any
discussion or controversy! “He always
has to have the last word!” We’ve all
used that scathing assessment of certain types of people among our family and
friends.
It brings up something for me to seriously ponder: what will my “last word” be to my children
and grandchildren? Will it be a word of discouragement or a word of encouragement? Will those final
words lead them to trust God, or bring the truth and eternal-ness of God’s Word
into question in their minds?
Paul’s final words in Ephesians 6 definitely lead me to trust God
fully! “Be strong in the Lord and in His
mighty power” are words that give me courage; they teach me it’s not all about
me, it’s about God and just what He’s capable of doing in my life if I hand it
over to Him.
This is what I’d like to pass on to my children and
grandchildren! “Be strong in the Lord
and in His mighty power”! Serve God,
love Him, obey Him, share Him. Be better
than I was!
Father, I pray
that all of our children and grandchildren would be brought by You to the point
of clear decision and that they would choose to hand their whole lives over to
You. Thank You, Father.
