C. H. Spurgeon · Modern retelling

"I will strengthen thee." — Isaiah 41:10 · KJV

God has a strong reserve with which to fulfill this engagement, for He is able to do all things. Believer, until you can drain dry the ocean of omnipotence, until you can break in pieces the towering mountains of almighty strength, you need never fear. Think not that the strength of man shall ever be able to overcome the power of God. While earth's huge pillars stand, you have enough reason to abide firm in your faith. The same God who directs the earth in its orbit, who feeds the burning furnace of the sun and trims the lamps of heaven, has promised to supply you with daily strength. While He is able to uphold the universe, dream not that He will prove unable to fulfill His own promises. Remember what He did in the days of old, in the former generations; remember how He spoke, and it was done, how He commanded, and it stood fast. Shall He who created the world grow weary? He hangs the world on nothing; shall He who does this be unable to support His children? Shall He be unfaithful to His word for want of power? Who is it that restrains the tempest? Does He not ride on the wings of the wind, make the clouds His chariots, and hold the ocean in the hollow of His hand? How can He fail you? When He has put such a faithful promise as this on record, will you for a moment indulge the thought that He has over-promised Himself, and gone beyond His power to fulfill? Ah, no! You can doubt no longer. O You who are my God and my strength, I can believe that this promise shall be fulfilled; for the boundless reservoir of Your grace can never be drained, and the overflowing storehouse of Your strength can never be emptied by Your friends nor rifled by Your enemies. Now let the feeble all be strong, and make Yahweh's arm their song!
