Gaining Strength from God
Psalm 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is
from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of
trouble. 40 And the LORD shall help them and
deliver them; He shall deliver them from the
wicked, And save them, Because they trust in
Him.
Psalm 29:11 The LORD will give strength to His
people; The LORD will bless His people with
peace.
1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and His
strength; Seek His face evermore!
Isaiah 41:9 You whom I have taken from the ends
of the earth, And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you, 'You are My servant, I have chosen
you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I
am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I
will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will
uphold you with My righteous right hand.‘
Exodus 15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel
sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: "I
will sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed
gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown
into the sea! 2 The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation; He is my God,
and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will
exalt Him.
Judges 16:26 Then Samson said to the lad who held
him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars which support
the temple, so that I can lean on them." 27 Now the
temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the
Philistines were there -- about three thousand men and
women on the roof watching while Samson performed.
28 Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, "O Lord
GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just
this once, O God, that I may with one blow take
vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!" 29 And
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which
supported the temple, and he braced himself against
them, one on his right and the other on his left. 30
Then Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!"
And he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on
the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead
that he killed at his death were more than he had killed
in his life.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, A very
present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not
fear, Even though the earth be removed, And
though the mountains be carried into the midst of
the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be
troubled, Though the mountains shake with its
swelling. 4 There is a river whose streams shall
make glad the city of God, The holy place of the
tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst
of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her,
just at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged,
the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice,
the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob
is our refuge. 8 Come, behold the works of the
LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He
breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He
burns the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and
know that I am God; I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The
LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our
refuge.
2 Samuel 22:1 Then David spoke to the LORD the
words of this song, on the day when the LORD had
delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and
from the hand of Saul. 2 And he said: "The LORD is
my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 The God
of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and
the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my
refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. 4 I
will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies. 5 'When the
waves of death surrounded me, The floods of
ungodliness made me afraid. 6 The sorrows of Sheol
surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried
out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry entered His ears.
Psalm 119:27 Make me understand the way of
Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your
wondrous works. 28 My soul melts from
heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your
word. 29 Remove from me the way of lying, And
grant me Your law graciously. 30 I have chosen
the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid
before me. 31 I cling to Your testimonies; O
LORD, do not put me to shame! 32 I will run the
course of Your commandments, For You shall
enlarge my heart. 33 Teach me, O LORD, the way
of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your
law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole
heart. 35 Make me walk in the path of Your
commandments, For I delight in it.
2 Corinthians 12:6 For though I might desire to boast,
I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I
refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he
sees me to be or hears from me. 7 And lest I should
be exalted above measure by the abundance of the
revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a
messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted
above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded
with the Lord three times that it might depart from
me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for
you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon
me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses,
for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am
strong.
Acts 18:9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night
by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do
not keep silent; 10 "for I am with you, and no
one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many
people in this city.“
Acts 27:20 Now when neither sun nor stars
appeared for many days, and no small tempest
beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was
finally given up. 21 But after long abstinence
from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them
and said, "Men, you should have listened to me,
and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this
disaster and loss. 22 "And now I urge you to take
heart, for there will be no loss of life among you,
but only of the ship. 23 "For there stood by me
this night an angel of the God to whom I belong
and whom I serve, 24 "saying, 'Do not be afraid,
Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and
indeed God has granted you all those who sail
with you.' 25 "Therefore take heart, men, for I
believe God that it will be just as it was told me.
2 Timothy 4:16 At my first defense no one stood
with me, but all forsook me. May it not be
charged against them. 17 But the Lord stood
with me and strengthened me, so that the
message might be preached fully through me,
and that all the Gentiles might hear. And I was
delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the
Lord will deliver me from every evil work and
preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be
glory forever and ever. Amen!
Ephesians 3:13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose
heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in
heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant
you, according to the riches of His glory, to be
strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner
man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is
the width and length and depth and height -- 19 to
know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that
you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now
to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the power that
works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ
Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
