Colossians 1:11
“strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;”
What does Colossians 1:11 mean?
God's strength isn't just about muscular resilience or pushing through difficulties, but about being reinforced by his glorious character and nature. When you're empowered this way, you can keep going through hard times without losing hope, and you might even find joy mixed in with the struggle. The "might of his glory" suggests that the same power that upholds creation and sustains all things is available to steady you. It's a reminder that endurance isn't something you manufacture alone through willpower, but something you receive as you trust in God's unfailing nature and presence.
