Bible verses about strength often reveal how strong we can be when we become allies with God. It is oftentimes different from the worldview of strength. As always seen in most people today, they build on artificial strength. Why? It is because the concepts of strength in their hearts are built on the weakness of others. Unlike in a personal relationship with God, the concept of strength is always viewed from wearing the eyes of our Father. For example, humbling yourself is strength, loving is strength, submission is strength, crying is strength and dying to self is strength. However, outside the relationship with God, strength is mistakenly perceived as related with superiority, associated with the hardness of the heart and the sharpness of the mind. This in turn gave birth to the "over-ling" and underling concept. In addition, if there are existing strong people, as a partner, there also exist weak ones.
Finding Strength when You Surrender
"Surrendering is a very weak decision a human being can ever make" - that is false. Bible verses about strength reveal that there is more strength in surrendering than going all the way to war. For example, was Jesus strong when he submitted to the desire and plans of the Father even though he didn't want to be crucified? Yes, Jesus was showing strength when he did that. Although during his prayer at Gethsemane, he asked for the "cup" to be taken away from him, in the end, he uttered that the Father's will be done. That is Jesus, strong when faced with temptations and strong even up to submission to painful death. As much as possible we must follow Jesus' way of being strong. This unfaltering lover of ours showed us the way because he very well knows that the Father, who loves us, will grant us the strength to follow.
Reading Bible Verses About Strength
Bible verses about strength must be read every day. Why? It is because in times when we are strong, we are reminded that our strength came from God and when we are weak, we are made strong. Every day the Potter moulds us into someone he wants us to be. And this process has always had different levels of pain - pains that if we don't stick to him, might cut us out of Him. We understand that it takes bloody lashes for us to learn sometimes and also, we have to go through the fire to reveal our genuiness. Again, if we don't commune with Him in His words, we can be carried away. Once we're carried away, we can be taken to places where we don't belong. Let love then guide us as we grow everyday in faith and love. It can be the only sustaining factor of life.
