STRENGTH

By G. B. S.

“For it is God that worketh in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

“For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”

“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee.”

“Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood.”

“For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it.”

If we are disposed so to feel, let us remember the final sentence of Jesus: “Without me ye can do nothing.” G. B. S.
