\u201cThy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou has wrought for us\u201d<\/strong> (Psalm 68 :28).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord imparts unto us that primary strength of character which makes everything in life work with intensity and decision. We are \u201c\u2026strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man\u201d<\/strong> (Ephesians 3: 16). And the strength is continuous; reserves of power come to us which we cannot exhaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lord is my strength\u201d to go on. He gives us power to tread the dead level, to walk the long lane that seems never to have a turning, to go through those long reaches of life which afford no pleasant surprise, and which depress the spirits in the sameness of a terrible drudgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lord is my strength\u201d to go up. He is to me the power by which I can climb the difficult hill and not be afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lord is my strength\u201d to go down. It is when we leave the bracing heights, where the wind and the sun have been about us, and when we begin to come down the hill into closer and more sultry spheres, that the heart is apt to grow faint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lord is my strength\u201d to sit still. And how difficult is the attainment! Do we not often say to one another, in seasons when we are compelled to be quiet, \u201cIf only I could do something!\u201d To do nothing, just to sit still and wait, requires tremendous strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
