Strength
Power and might that ultimately come from God rather than human resources. Isaiah 40:31 promises, 'Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.' Philippians 4:13 declares, 'I can do all this through him who gives me strength.' Psalm 18:32 attributes victory to God: 'It is God who arms me with strength.' Nehemiah 8:10 encourages, 'The joy of the Lord is your strength.' Second Corinthians 12:9 reveals God's paradoxical economy: 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' David found strength in God when abandoned by his men (1 Samuel 30:6). True strength is Spirit-empowered dependence on God.
