Ephesians 6:10 (NLT2)
" A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power."
Be strong in the Lord! Lately we( Sandra and I ) have been listening to Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn Tabernacle and he has been sharing about "Spiritual Strategies". He has proposed three strategies as to be Strong in the Lord and GIs mighty power. Obviously, for Paul to write and encourage us to be strong in the Lord , there are those who are weak and struggling. This exhortation comes right before Paul describes the armor of God. Do you consider yourself strong in the Lord and in His mighty power? If you say ,Yes, very good but if you say "No".  Then do you want to be strong in the Lord? Want to know how?

Psalm 29:1-2 (NKJV)
" Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, Give unto the LORD glory and strength.  Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness."

Do you know who David is addressing here? It is the angels in heaven. He is emphasizing worship. This is something we must grow into and learn. It really does not come naturally but supernaturally. It is an expression of the spirit for Jesus said in John 4 that we are to worship God in spirit and in truth. Not until we are truly born again, as the woman at the well was, do we know how to worship. Do you know how to worship? Are you learning how to worship?

Many consider Ferrante and Teicher to be the greatest piano duet team of all time.
Their collaborative presentations were so precise that their style was described as four hands but only one mind.
​Hearing their music, one can begin to grasp the amount of effort required to perfect their craft.
But there’s more. They loved what they did. In fact, even after they had retired in 1989, Ferrante and Teicher would occasionally show up at a local piano store just to play an impromptu concert. They simply loved making music.
David also loved making music—but he teamed up with God to give his song a higher purpose. His psalms affirm his struggle-filled life and his desire to live in deep dependence upon God. Yet, in the midst of his personal failures and imperfections, his praise expressed a kind of spiritual “perfect pitch,” acknowledging the greatness and goodness of God even in the darkest of times. The heart behind David’s praise is simply stated in Psalm 18:1, which reads, “I love you, Lord, my strength.”
David continued, “I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise” (v. 3) and turned to Him “in my distress” (v. 6). Regardless of our situation, may we likewise lift our hearts to praise and worship our God. He’s worthy of all praise!
