  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
- Psalm 46:1

This morning, Bro Dillow led a discussion about the strength of the Lord. He pointed out that Christians get tired at times and we have to be refreshed and strengthened. Sometimes this strength in needed in the inner man, sometime in the outer man and sometimes we need to be strengthened in our souls and in our spirit. No matter the source of our weakness, God’s strength is available to live a godly and holy life.

Several of the saints gave testimony to having needed strength at various times in their lives, but in every case, God made His strength available and they were able to press on and be overcomers. Thank the Lord. God must surely be a mighty God to share Himself and His strength with so many people.  And yet His strength is never exhausted.

Some of the greatest spiritual leaders of the past, including Paul the apostle, knew that their strength was limited and were keenly aware of their own weaknesses, yet they realized that to succeed they had access to an endless source of strength made available to them through our Lord. It was for this reason that they could boldly proclaim “When I am weak, then am I made strong.” 

There is strength beyond measure,
In God's comforting word.
Seek His storehouse of treasure,
There is strength in the Lord.
