Definition and Usage:
In the biblical context, "might" often refers to strength, power, and force, both in physical and spiritual terms. It is frequently associated with God's omnipotence and the strength He imparts to His people. The term is used to describe the power of God, the strength of individuals, and the moral and spiritual fortitude required to live a life of faith.

Old Testament References:
The Hebrew word often translated as "might" is "koach," which denotes strength, power, or ability. In Deuteronomy 6:5, the Shema, a central declaration of faith, commands, "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Here, "strength" (or "might") emphasizes the totality of devotion required by God’s people.

In the Psalms, God's might is a recurring theme. Psalm 89:13 states, "Mighty is Your arm, strong is Your hand; Your right hand is exalted." This verse highlights God's unparalleled power and His ability to uphold justice and righteousness.

New Testament References:
In the New Testament, the Greek word "ischys" is often used to convey the concept of might. Ephesians 6:10 encourages believers, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." This exhortation underscores the necessity of relying on God's strength to withstand spiritual challenges.

The might of God is also evident in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In Luke 1:49, Mary proclaims, "For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name." This acknowledgment of God's might reflects His ability to perform miraculous deeds and fulfill His promises.

Theological Significance:
Might, as an attribute of God, underscores His sovereignty and authority over all creation. It reassures believers of His ability to protect, provide, and deliver. The might of God is not only a source of comfort but also a call to action, as believers are encouraged to live in His strength and to manifest His power in their lives.

The concept of might also relates to the spiritual warfare described in Ephesians 6, where believers are called to put on the full armor of God. This passage emphasizes that human strength is insufficient for spiritual battles; instead, reliance on God's might is essential.

Practical Application:
Believers are encouraged to seek God's might in their daily lives, recognizing that true strength comes from Him. This involves prayer, reliance on the Holy Spirit, and obedience to God's Word. By acknowledging their own limitations and depending on God's power, Christians can overcome challenges and live victoriously.

In summary, "might" in the Bible is a multifaceted concept that encompasses God's omnipotence, the strength He imparts to His followers, and the moral courage required to live a life of faith. It is a reminder of the divine power available to believers and the call to live in accordance with God's will.1. (imp.) of May.
