for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Of whom shall I be afraid?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4.13
Strength = “the way of the Lord”
“The way of the Lord is strength“
The way of the Lord is strength for the upright
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 10.29
“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,“
“I have strength.”
“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.
Proverbs 8.14
“A wise man is strong”
“knowledge increases strength”
A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
Proverbs 24.5-6
“My strength is made perfect in weakness”
Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12.8-10
“increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power”
Preeminence of Christ
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Colossians 1.9-12
“He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength”
“But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;”
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40.29-31
Dear God,
I pray You give me wisdom so I can be stronger
In Jesus’ name Amen
The way of the Lord is strength for the upright
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 10.29
A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
Proverbs 24.5-6
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
