Be Resilient

Where in your life have you had to be resilient?

Ephesians 6:10-11

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

At times God gives us the strength to remain strong and even calm during a crisis. It makes me think of those who are 911 dispatchers, EMS, emergency doctors and nurses and the amount of resilience they must have in order to do their job day in and day out, I commend them for it.

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Jesus was a great example of resilience, he endured so much and yet he showed us how to remain calm in spite of it all.

Luke 8:24-25

The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."

My prayer is that no matter what position you hold God will continue to strengthen you and calm your spirit in the process.
