“From henceforth be strong.” Be strong in what? In our spiritual position, "In the Lord". We are in Him and He is in us. Where He is, we are. We are joined to Him by the Holy Spirit. We are to live there -- "Be strong in the Lord." This is not about our opinions or questions of why, and not in our own strength, for we must be strong in Him, in the person of our Lord. We must have only Christ as our center, as our life, as our strength, and as our power. It is the Lord, all the Lord -- the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, the Lord who laughs at our enemies. The King of glory -- The Lord. Our strength is not in ourselves, not in our position, not in our abilities or the abilities of man, not in our wealth or power, not in our circumstances, not in our place, not in our plans—NOT IN OUR CHARIOTS, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE! We must be strong in nothing else, but “In The Lord". I will trust the Lord who helps me and keeps me, never slumbering in His watchfulness over me, for I am totally His -- I will trust the Lord!
TRUST IN THE LORD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART
AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM
AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS
TRUST IN THE LORD
