Evening They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. (Or, change strength.) When I am weak, then am I strong. -- God shall be my strength. -- He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -- Let him take hold of my strength. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee. -- The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob. I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. -- Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Isa 40:31; 2 Cor 12:10; Isa 49:5; 2 Cor 12:9; Isa 27:5; Psa 55:22; Gen 49:24; Gen 32:26; 1 Sam 17:45; Psa 35:1,2 Sunday 10-September, 2023
