Finally

Ephesians 6:10 NRSV

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.” 

 ‘Finally’ is the conclusion of instructions Paul gave. Go back to Ephesians 5:21 and read. It is the treating of those who had no cultural rights or power - children, wives, slaves. It is how we submit to one another, how we treat one another. 

That is the battle- how we treat one another. We submit to one another through submitting to God. He handles it.  All of that is before the ‘finally’. Then after we have done that we can be strong in the Lord. Not of our own strength or ability, but in him. That’s power. We build up to it. 

My daughter in love will have us work with less weight at first and as we are strengthened we take on more weight. We take each day at a time growing in God and in his power. The more we grow, the more we trust in his power, and not our own. Blessings of his strength and power! enough for now.
