Knuckles is certainly the “heavy hitter” for Team Sonic, using his formidable strength to support his fellow team members as well as protect any other creatures who are in need. Nobody would ever accuse Knuckles of being “weak”… he has simply chosen to apply his abilities to defending the helpless rather than using them to pick fights and cause harm. Only bullies leverage their advantages over others for selfish gain… true warriors use their strength to serve and to save.

In our walk with Christ, it can be easy to mistake the love, mercy and grace we show others as a sign of weakness, but it’s actually proof we are truly leaning on His strength instead of our own. Jesus didn’t command His followers to turn the other cheek because we are timid or weak, but because our mission (like His) calls for saving others, not condemning them. Christ’s strength was shown many times by how he stood up for the children coming to see Him, protected the woman that others wanted to stone, and called a hated tax collector out of his tree. Our Lord wasn’t weak… He chose to use His strength to help others in need, willingly carrying the burden of an undeserved cross so they might be saved. Let’s walk in confidence that His strength will be sufficient for us today in all we do… and use the power we’ve been given to serve others in love.

Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13
