The Bible has a lot to say about strength. These Bible verses on strength represent the many aspects of strength available to us and highlight where true strength originates.

The strength to do what we need to do comes from God

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 (NLT)

The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace. Psalm 29:11 (NLT)

Feeling weak and inadequate isn’t a barrier to God’s strength working through us

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

True strength is found in a relationship with God

Strength comes when we need it

Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.

Joy gives us strength
