Bible verses about
Strength

God’s strength empowers humanity to do extraordinary things. Scripture is full of instances where God gives strength to the weary to push on toward their goal. He strengthens the weak to win battles that appear impossible. He empowers the exhausted, the enslaved, and the exiled to stand strong in the face of adversity. Divine power enriches our lives, allowing us to exclaim with Nehemiah, “the joy of the Lord is my strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
