1 Samuel 2:4

stopped the force of fire, escaped from dying by the sword, out of weakness found great strength, grew mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

always being persecuted, but not deserted; always getting a knockdown, but never a knockout;

but He said to me, "My spiritual strength is sufficient, for it is only by means of conscious weakness that perfect power is developed."

Hold your position, then, with your waist encircled with the belt of truth, put on right-doing as a coat of mail,

I can do anything through Him who gives me strength.
