God
Is Great, God is strong. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run into it and are safe.

Life is hard.
No matter who
we are, we all experience difficulty. To be sure, the degree of life’s severity
differs from person to person. In every season of our lives, in every
place of our existence, there is tension and conflict. From the wrenching reality of losing loved
ones to silly inconveniences like warm drinks getting cold and cold drinks
getting warm, life is hard.

is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will
praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

The Christian story begins with
the Creator creating everything (Genesis 1:1).
Then creation rejects the Creator. And this rejection fractured the entirety of
creation (Genesis 3:14–19).
As a result, nothing is as it should be and life is made more difficult.

Jesus is God and He loves us and we are to be strong in Him! Christians are in a war! Christians are in a spiritual
battle. Christians are in a war with the devil!
What
does this mean? All Christians
will be attacked by the devil! (Ephesians
6:13)

Paul talk about the full armor of God, we note which areas
of our lives the devil will attack us.
of our lives the devil will attack us.
A important
truth: Christians will be attacked by the devil, and if they are weak in the
Lord, they will fail! But take heart, God knows your specific
situation! Your God and Savior Jesus Christ has already won the battle! It is
up to us to depend on what Jesus has already accomplished!

There is no end to God's greatness
When
you think about the greatness of God, you can't help but bless Him with your
praise. Our God is all-knowing. He knows our faults, our weaknesses, our sins,
and our rebellions, yet He loves us. Our God is all-powerful. He could snuff
out our lives in an instant, yet He continues to bless us with life. Our God is all-present. He is everywhere at all
times, He watches us, and is involved in all that we do. Yet, He shows grace
and leads us in our lives away from spiritual and physical danger. When we
think about the greatness of God compared to our sin, we cannot help but bless
His awesome name!

God
not only reveals His greatness to us, He also shares His greatness with us. God
has created us in His image to reflect Him for His glory (Gen 1:26-28).

Life Is Hard, But God Is Greater. Here’s the point: life is hard, but there is
always hope. We need to be stronger in the
Lord and in His MIGHTY power! As Christians, we all have the power of Jesus
Christ to say no sin! If you’re having a hard time saying no to sin and you’re
allowing the devil to win in your life, focus and work on being strong in Jesus
Christ!
There is
no end to God's greatness
Remember that God has revealed His greatness to us mostly
through His Son, Jesus Christ. He would be with us till the end of the age
(Matt 28:20). We see the greatest of the greatness of God in the gospel of
Jesus as He wisely and powerfully conquered Satan, sin, and death with His
bodily presence. Praise the name of Jesus!
