DEVOTION FOR 17TH MARCH 2026
​
BE STRONG IN THE LORD
​
â€â€Ephesians‬ â€6:10‬ â€NIV‬‬
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”
​
We are encouraged to be strong in the Lord.
We have a God who is willing and able, to fight our battles for us. Therefore, Paul encourages us to lean on God’s strength and might. The verses following tell us to put on the “full amour of God if we are to withstand the schemes of the devil.
​
The armour of God includes:
The belt of truth
The breastplate of righteousness
The gospel of peace on our feet
The shield of faith
The helmet of salvation
The sword of the Spirit, which is
the Word of God.
​
Every area of the body is to be protected by the armour of God if we are to experience victory in our lives.
​
PRAYER
Father, as I begin this day, I ask that you accompany me through every hour.
I recognize, Lord, that the enemy is on the attack, seeking whom he may devour.
Therefore, I clothe myself in your spiritual armour today – your armour of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word.
​
I thank you, Lord, for going before me today. I thank you for being my banner and for covering of your blood. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

DEVOTION FOR 16TH MARCH 2026
​
GOD IS ALMIGHTY
​
â€â€Job‬ â€42:1-2‬ â€KJV‬‬
“Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
I know that thou canst do every thing,
And that no thought can be withholden from thee.”
​
Job had just gone through a period of loss, mental suffering, sickness, and distress. His best friends visited him, but only added to his anguish with their self-righteous accusations. Surely, they thought, Job must have sinned to cause all these disasters to befall him. They did not understand it was a test of his faithfulness.
​
Job continued to trust God throughout his ordeal but, but there were times he wondered why God was allowing Him to face these trials. In chapter 16, we can see he actually thought God had laid these problems on Him, not knowing it was the Enemy, the accuser of the brethren. Therefore, after God had spoken, Job could only declare: “I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no thought can be withholden from thee.”
​
How do you react in times of trials? Do you blame God? Do you debate with him? Or do you continue to trust Him? Job’s declaration is full of hope and faith! GOD is all-knowing! He knows our thoughts! He knows our weaknesses! He knows ALL OUR DEEDS! There is NOTHING HIDDEN FROM HIM!
​
He is the ALL MIGHTY GOD, and there is none like Him! He can do EVERYTHING! He is a God who restores, and He can bring restoration to you as He did for Job.
​
What is your present “Job experience”?
What is that thing that is weighing you down, causing you to question God, and testing your faith?
​
Be reminded today that “GOD CAN DO ANYTHING”!
