Strength, Dignity, Humility
Monday, October 12,2026
Good morning, Lord
Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…
Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Verse of the day: “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
Today’s reading: Isaiah 39-40 Colossians 4
Strength, Dignity, Humility
I have lived through 12 presidents and there are only a couple, one in particular, who smiled in humility all the time. In Proverbs, 31 it gives us what we call the 'Proverbial woman' and it says:
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
That strength and dignity comes from a close relationship with our Father and, no, it is not just for women, gentlemen. Humility is for all. And when we have strength and dignity from the Lord Jesus, the anointed one, He covers us with His humility, indeed, The Holy Spirit gives us access to the fruits of the spirit.
Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:11-18 to put on the whole armor of God. Before he gets to what makes up the armor, he tells us:
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
What does the armor you wear look like at this point?
Our God is bigger than any threat. Isaiah 40 tells asks us:
12 “Who has taken count and measured out all earth’s waters in a single, cupped palm
and determined heaven’s expanse with an outstretched hand?”
The only real security is in God's hand and nothing can pull you out if you are in Christ Jesus. Jesus said:
28 “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(John 10)
You have the truth-it is written in His Book and written on your heart. Be free!
...because He loves us...
Father in Heaven,
Forgive me for trusting the false security of this world. This sin is ever before me. Have mercy, oh God.
Merciful and forgiving and empowering God,
In the name of Christ Jesus,
Amen
