On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.
Thou strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. —Psalm 138:3
Other masters cut out work for their servants, but do not help them in their work; but our Master in heaven doth not only give us work, but strength. God bids us serve him, and he will enable us to serve him, Eze 36:27: “I will cause you to walk in my statutes.” The Lord doth not only fit work for us, but fits us for our work; with his command he gives power.—Thomas Watson, as quoted in The Treasury of David
