I am so thankful for this verse in particular, because it shows me the Graciousness of God in so many ways. As a young mother, with many children dependent upon me, I remember trying to be strong for them in my own strength, to no avail. Jesus led me to this “life changing” verse in my life, as I prayed to the Lord in desperation, knowing that I needed to impart into my children so much more than I had to offer, I began quoting it repeatedly, and sometimes at the top of my voice when a need arose. God in His faithfulness gave me a melody in my heart for this verse which eventually became the song that I have recorded for others like myself, who need the Lord’s strength. Though time has passed this Scripture song takes on new life in the different trials that I am permitted to go through. It never ceases to amaze me how powerful and true, and sustaining it is that the Lord’s Power is perfected in weakness. I am able to go in the Strength of the Lord and in the Power of His Might because He ordained that I should so walk in Him. The moment I endeavor to try something in my own strength, I am sure to see the futile results. In the spring as I look at the tiny new leaves peering out on the branches of the trees, I see the effortlessness with which it all happens, and how marvelous it all…
