AS THY DAYS, SO SHALL THY STRENGTH BE.



 June 14
 
 
Deuteronomy 33:25  
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; 
and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 
 

No man can possibly tell what is before him; but our God knoweth, and He has promised His people strength proportioned to their trials.
 
We should not be anxious, for with the trials comes the strength.
 
Our troubles are very generally to be numbered amongst our mercies.
 
Temporal prosperity without a special blessing from God, will prove to be a curse; and it always brings a solemn responsibility with it.
 
We have always found our God faithful; He always has given strength according to the day; and why should we now doubt?
 
We may look forward and suppose the worst, and then say, “I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.“
 
We go from strength to strength, and every true believer shall appear in Zion before God.
 
He will perfect that which concerneth us, but will never forsake the work of His own hands.
 
Let us then expect the Lord to give when we want, as we want, and all we want; let us believe that our strength will be equal to our burden, to our day.
 
The promise is plain, it is positive, it is sure, and our God is faithful.
 
God is love, and will not leave you,
When you most his kindness need;
God is true, nor can deceive you,
Though your faith be weak indeed.
 
James Smith
