<p>&quot;My strength is made perfect in your weakness.&quot; 2 Corinthians 12:9<br />
        <br />
        The more the believer feels his weakness—the more should he expect his Savior to support and strengthen him. The strength of Jesus is imparted, enjoyed, and displayed—in our sorest trials and most distressing seasons!<br />
        <br />
        Never was <em>Abraham </em>so strong—as when offering up his beloved Isaac upon the mount.<br />
        <br />
        Never were the <em>martyrs </em>so courageous—as when in prison they felt their entire weakness, cried to Jesus for strength; and depending on His faithfulness and love, left all and went to the stake. Then they could exclaim, &quot;None but Christ! None but Christ! Farewell life—welcome the cross of Christ!&quot;<br />
        <br />
        Beloved, <strong>when we feel weakest</strong>—the strength of Jesus is nearest. He magnifies His mercy—by giving power to the faint, and increasing the strength of the weak.<br />
        <br />
        Let us depend on Him, for we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. <br />
        <br />
        He is our strength—a very present help in trouble
