The LORD has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling. Psalm 132:13

Walking Worthy of the Lord

Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.  Colossians 1:11

God is the source of our strength for living the Christian life. When we draw on God’s power, we can overcome any challenge. God’s power is not limited. He gives us the strength we need according to His grace, not our weakness. For every task God calls us to, He provides the power we need to complete it. God will never ask us to do something without giving us the resources we need to succeed. 

Everyone is criticized at some point in their lives, and sometimes unfairly. Longsuffering is the ability to be patient with people, even when they are difficult or annoying. God gives us the power to have inner joy even in the midst of difficult circumstances and difficult people.
