The Lord will give strength unto his people
His special people, his covenant people, whom he has chosen for
himself; these are encompassed with infirmities, and are weak in
themselves; but there is strength for them in Christ: the Lord
promises it unto them, and bestows it on them, and which is a
pure gift of his grace unto them; this may more especially regard
that strength, power, and dominion, which will be given to the
people of the most High in the latter day; since it follows, upon
the account of the everlasting kingdom of Christ;
the Lord will bless his people with peace:
with internal peace, which is peculiar to them, and to which
wicked men are strangers; and which arises from a comfortable
apprehension of justification by the righteousness of Christ, of
pardon by his blood, and atonement by his sacrifice; and is
enjoyed in a way of believing; and with external peace in the
latter day, when there shall be no more war with them, nor
persecution of them; but there shall be abundance of peace, and
that without end; and at last with eternal peace, which is the
end of the perfect and upright man; and the whole is a great
blessing.
