i. to study the source of a Christian’s strength and
ii. the consequences of running low of it.
Strength isthe quality or state of being strong. This could be variously interpreted. One of such is the power to resist attack. As Christians, we need the strength of God to run through the difficult terrains on the path to the glorious eternity. In our Bible text today, Moses testified to God’s saving power with a victorious song. Our study guides will explore more on how to acquire this strength.
1. Analyse the extent of God’s strength with emphasis on Ex 15:3-4; 7-8; 9-10.
2. State some of the ways to acquire the strength of God. Matt 17:21; Luk 6:12; Acts 1:8.
3. Explain in details what you understand by waiting upon the Lord in Isa. 40:29-31 and theadvantages.
4. In the context of Mk 6:46-51, explain the effect of the retreat of Jesus and the consequence of hisdisciples running the race without him.
Our God is omnipotent. Leaving him behind in our journey of life can end in endlesstoiling like that of Jesus’ disciples on the sea. However, when we invite Jesus into our journey of life, He becomes our strength and the storm of life ceases.
With God’s strength, you run without stress.
Ex 15:2 "The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he ismy God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him".
