The Strength to Bow

Sep 13, 2026    Pastor Jacob Sandholm

What if true strength isn’t found in standing tall—but in knowing when to bow?


James 4:7–10 calls us to a radical kind of strength: submission to God, resistance to the devil, drawing near to God, and humble repentance. In a world that tells us to follow our own way, Jesus calls us to surrender ours.


Because bowing before God isn’t weakness. It’s where strength begins.

The strength to bow is the strength to follow Jesus.
