The God of Israel

Psalms 68:35 KJV
O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
It is important that we see this not only as a mere doctrinal but as a practical fact. God gives strength and power unto His people so

We want to be His people.
We want to make sure that we are saved. God gives strength and power unto His people but only really unto His people. While all are His by virtue of the creation the Word of God makes it clear that His people are those who are His through a personal relationship with Him.

We want to seek His strength and power.
He is the right source and the best source for strength and power.
Not the authorities of this world
Not a union of many people
Not the political process

God gives us strength and power

We must rest in and rely upon that strength and power
God promises to give it so we must expect it and rest upon it. We must believe we have it and act in accordance with it.

In those times when strength seems weak and our power seems low, we must come to promises like this one in God's Word and get a refill.
