Walking In God's Strength Through It All

Throughout the Bible, we are told to rely on God’s strength and not our own. And throughout life—especially in times of trouble—the Bible makes it clear that God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). God tells the apostle Paul that His grace is sufficient in all circumstances because He will provide His strength in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). And with obvious irony, Paul makes the point that even if God had any weakness—which He doesn’t—that weakness would be stronger than the strongest strength of men (1 Corinthians 1:25).

The bottom line is that to get through this life in a manner that is pleasing and glorifying to God, we need to solely rely on God’s powerful and perfect strength. It’s in that strength that we will be able to stand, even in the darkest days.
