Employ His Strength

February 10

The world esteems power. Whether it is physical prowess or financial clout or political influence, those who are focused upon this present age are enthralled by the concept of the superiority that can be achieved by these things that seem to grant great advantage to those who wield them.

It requires little but a cursory observation of those in whose hands power is held to recognize that they share their advantage among themselves. It is an almost altogether foreign concept that the ones who are high and mighty would extend themselves in any significant way to those who are not among the power elite.

This exclusivity flies in the face of Jesus who, “…though He was equal with God, made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a man, “ Philippians 2:6, in order that He might extend to all who will believe in Him the opportunity to become the children of the Most High God.

As Psalm 41: 1, 2 declares, “Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord will rescue and protect him and preserve his life; He will bless him and keep him from the desire of his foes.” Having regard for those of little strength allows the Mighty One to employ His strength in our behalf.
