Memorize this verse and hide it in your heart. When I start to falter, my first reaction can tend to be one of panic..and wondering..what do I do? No matter how long I have spent in the workshop, my progress is made evident only in the initial moment of peril. We prepare ourselves internally to meet the challenges externally. We rehearse in advance so our responses are involuntary when the moment of truth arrives.
There isn't one situation, one temptation, or one question that cannot be answered with the response "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might". On a multiple-choice test, this is answer (d) All of the above. Use this verse to steady yourself in shaky moments until you regain your stability on the Rock.
God is not telling you to be tough on your own, or to come up with the right thing to do. He is saying to rely on His power, His strength, and to allow Him to do for you what He knows best.
