“I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only” (Psa. 71:16).
The Lord alone knows the multitude of hearts who have through the years found sustaining strength and help in this verse: Hearts crushed by disappointment, bowed down by grief, perplexed and despondent, and without any earthly source of help, they have found that they could “go in the strength of the Lord God,” “and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.” “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength,” and He has told His own: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.” “And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness,” and “I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.” Therefore, suffering saint, “go in the strength of the Lord God.” “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.”
Has your strength, dear saint, reached its end?
Do you feel you cannot go on?
”Go in the strength of the Lord God,”
And He’ll fill your heart with His song.
