What Does the Bible Say About Strength?

There’s an incredible message that echoes throughout the pages of the Bible—a reminder to stay strong, for our God is faithful, he never leaves us.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

This is the answer God spoke to Paul, and it’s the answer I am porposingg to you today.

In those moments when we feel weak and vulnerable, the Bible shows us that God steps in, and becomes the very strength we need. Let that truth sink deep into your soul.

It’s awe-inspiring to realize that the Creator of the universe is right beside you at this very moment. His presence resides in your heart. He is a never-ending source of hope, peace, and joy and strength-truly extraordinary.
