1 Kings 20:22-23 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do… It is said of Pitt that "he breathed his own lofty spirit into his country. No man ever entered his room who did not feel himself a braver man when he came out than when he went in." How much more true, and in the very highest sense, is this of our inspiring Lord. Fellowship with Him makes the timid strong, the fearful brave, the tempted mighty to resist. (Helps to Speakers.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee. |
