God—the source of our strength

Do you need greater moral or physical strength? You'll find it as you lean more fully on God.

Sharon Slaton Howell

Strength . We all need it every day in some form or another. And whether it's physical, mental, or moral stamina we're thinking of, most of us would probably say we could use more of it.

We can increase our strength as we learn to look to God, our divine source, for this essential quality. God is all-powerful. And, paradoxically, you and I are never stronger than when we are leaning on Him and on the invigorating, sustaining influence of His Christ.

In the New Testament, Paul makes this striking statement: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13). But how many people these days are trying to do all things without Christ! This is sad, for not only does such a spiritually weakened way of life go against God's will for His children; it would deprive us of utilizing the incomparable strength of divine power.
