The Bible gives us insight into the solution to all our problems and the key to unlock any door of opportunity that is closed to us. We don’t need to take a course on successful management techniques, we don’t need to discover the secrets of winning friends and influencing people, we don’t need to discover how to present our innate abilities in the most compelling way.

The effective “method” capsulated for us in Ephesians 6:10 but reiterated throughout the Word is, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of HIS might,” and goes on to say in verse 11, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy.”

The Lord Jesus Christ has made ample provision for us to attain all we need in time and to possess all He has supplied to us through eternity via His great Gift of Himself. He also knows that the enemy of our souls will go about seeking to destroy our chances for temporal blessing and for eternal reward. Our precious Savior and King wants us to know that of ourselves we may stumble and falter in our journey toward all He has in His heart for us to possess.

But we are not limited to what we can achieve, to what we can accumulate through our own efforts as we journey through time toward our Heavenly Home. Jesus wants us to focus on Him, to rely upon Him. He wants us to know that although our human strength may be insufficient, His matchless strength is more than enough for all we need. He wants us to journey confidently through life, knowing His strength is sufficient for all earthly goals and all spiritual battles.
