I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.

—Ezek 30:25

• Many a boy has sought to build up his physique by lifting weights. We may be able to build up our arm muscles, but we are powerless to make the arms of others strong. We may long to be able to help strengthen the weak, but it is not within our power.

• What we cannot do, God can. If he wants a king to succeed and overcome his foe, he can make it happen. If he wants to make a strong person weak so he is unable to defend himself, he can just say the word, and it comes to pass.

• Praise God for his ability to make the weak strong, enabling the weakest of us to be strong enough to overcome every challenge or obstacle according to his good pleasure and purpose.
