Verses on God’s Strength

What mountain are you facing today? Are you feeling worn, tired and maybe a bit discouraged? Cling to the God of all hope. It is not in our strength that we succeed, but in realizing our weakness and instead embracing His endless and limitless strength.

I’ve compiled these verses over the last few years.  Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed, weak or discouraged, I run to these truths. I pray they will encourage you today:

Deut. 31:8  “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;   he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid;  do not be discouraged.”

1 Sam 2:9-10 “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.  He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,  but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. “It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the Lord will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven;  the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. “He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

1 Samuel 12:16 “Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!
