Stronger than 10 Mighty Men

Did you know that you can be stronger than the most mighty and fierce warrior?  Its true - with the help of God you really can be that strong!

The Bible tells us, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that taketh a city” (Proverbs 16:32). So even is someone is strong enough to capture a whole city, God wants to make YOU even stronger than that! God helps you do this by strengthening your heart - the way you think, the way you say yes or no to yourself, and the way you choose to act when your feelings start trying to take over. 

It’s easy to get upset and yell at someone or push someone isn’t it? That doesn’t sound like strength to me - just doing what comes so easily. It takes strength to be kind to someone when you are upset doesn’t it?

God gave us just the thing to make us that strong!

God’s wisdom strengthens us “more than ten mighty men”! (Ecclesiastes 7:19). YOU can find God’s wisdom easily. Just read God’s words in the Bible (or listen if you have an audio bible!), and listen to others who know what is in the Bible. And take time by yourself to pray to God - to talk with him all by yourself, and let him help YOU be strong!

The next time you feel angry or frustrated, quietly pray in your head and ask God to help you be stronger than ten mighty men, and you can conquer those feelings! And keep reading God’s words, so he can make your heart stronger and stronger! God gives us such amazing helps to be that strong - That’s how much he loves you!
