Strategy for Strengthening

Read:  Psalm 82 / Proverbs 6 / Nehemiah 6 /Jude 1

Psalm 82:5,8  They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course... Arise, O God... Thou shalt inherit all nations.
Proverbs 6:5,23 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter... reproofs of instruction are the way of life. 
Nehemiah 6:9,11 They all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands... Should... I flee?
Jude 3,21 Earnestly contend for the faith...  which was once delivered unto the saints... Keep yourselves in the love of God.

I'll trust in God for strengthening
While rebels in the darkness walk. 
With every day He's lengthening,
I will contend with those who mock. 

When mockers come, why should I flee
While God has called me to contend? 
I have no other strategy
Than trusting Christ until the end.
