Taking Hold of God's Strength

It is when man realizes his utter weakness, and only then, that the strength of God is given in answer to faith in Christ. The Lord sometimes allows men to fall, that they may realize their weakness, not that they may despair, but that they may take hold on His strength. "For when we were yet without strength [or, being still without strength], in due time Christ died for the ungodly." All are "without strength," all are ungodly; but to him who realizes this, the gracious invitation is, "Let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me."
