The Promise of God

God gives His people strength.

Strength: A masculine noun referring to strength, power. It depicts the Lord as one’s strength.

The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.Psalm 28:8

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.Psalm 105:4

The source of my strength is the Lord.

The consistency of my strength is in the Lord.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And 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. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:5-7

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;Romans 3:23

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.Ephesians 2:8-9

God promises that he will give His people peace.

Peace: A harmonious state of the soul and mind that encourages the development of the faculties and powers.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.Luke 2:14

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.John 14:27

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,Galatians 5:22

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:Romans 5:1

The Power of God

God controls the water.

God controls the wind.

God controls the storms.

God controls the flood.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;Ephesians 2:14
