I've got to admit I
didn't get much out of this. It
basically said the same things as God is strength. I've offered a couple of examples below. I then looked up the definition of power and
strength and found out why they seemed to say the same thing.
The two words are
used to define each other! :)
Deuteronomy 8:17-20(NKJV)
then you say in your
heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
“And you shall
remember the Lord your God, for it is
He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which
He swore to your fathers, as it is
this day.
Then it shall be, if
you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and
serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall
surely perish.
As the nations which
the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not
be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
Daniel 2:36-38(NKJV)
“This is the dream. Now we will tell the
interpretation of it before the king.
You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has
given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory;
and wherever the
children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven,
He has given them into your hand,
and has made you ruler over them all—you are
this head of gold.
