One thing that we really find clearly conveyed in the Bible
verses for strength that we have selected is that the source of a Christian's
strength is from God and in God. When he is with us and behind us on any task
to which he has sent us, God will equip us with his strength--a strength that
the Bible describes as greater than any other in the entire universe.
There is not any person or any spiritual power that can stand
up to the God who created the universe.
There are times when we may feel like we do not have the
strength needed to carry on. And Jesus can probably relate to us on this since
he struggled in the garden before the crucifixion, praying in turmoil to his
Father. Yet, God gave him the strength to carry on. He will do the same for us.
Deuteronomy 3:16
But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory
extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being
the border) and out to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the Ammonites.
Deuteronomy 20:4
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you
against your enemies to give you victory.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults,
in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am
strong.
Isaiah
40:31
but

like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

the power for ever and ever. Amen.
