Be Strong with the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10

Remember the story of the Three Little Pigs and how each built their homes? Only the third and wisest pig’s built his house of brick. That brick house came in handy when the Big Bad Wolf came to destroy it. The brick house withstood the powerful force of the wolf as he blew and blew. The strong foundation, the construction and quality of materials can often determine what is left after such a vicious attack. When we have to face our own personal storms, the strength will become visible in much the same way:

*A Solid Foundation - The truth we have built our life on - God’s truth.

*Attention and accuracy to the construction – The attention we are giving our growing faith.

*The quality of materials; His word and how God has given us the character to stand strong.

This will help us to stand strong in the winds of our own storms. When we rely only on ourselves, our house is sure to crumble. When we rely on God, He can withstand ALL storms.

I can do all things through Christ because he gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
