Word of God

But he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

The Gospel According to Matthew 4:4

Psalm 18:32

Prefaced & Edited by Doktor Riktor Von Zhades

God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way upright.

Brethren:

Who but our Creator makes the weak strong, the fearful courageous? Likewise He guides us in His ways, walking along the paths of His righteousness. Consider also today in your meditations Psalm 89:21; Psalm 91:2 - Dr. Riktor Von Zhades

“Perfect - Perfectly plain and smooth, and clear from impediments.” - John Wesley

“What service God designs men for he will be sure to fit them for.” - Matthew Henry

“For battle, [along] with strength of body and fortitude of mind; both which are from the Lord, and were in David; and were acknowledged by him as bestowed on him by the Lord; and which confirms what he had before said of him: or with spiritual strength, with strength in his soul, against sin, Satan, and the world; and to do the will and work of God: saints are girt by the Lord with the whole armour of God, and among the rest with the girdle of truth; and are prepared and ready to every good work; see (Read 1 Samuel 2:4 ) . Hannah's song is again referred to: in (Read 2 Samuel 22:33 ) , the words are, "God is my strength [and] power"; they are true of Christ, the man of God's right hand, whom he promised to strengthen, and whom he has made strong for himself. God removed every impediment and obstacle out of his way, and made it plain and easy, as Jarchi observes; and succeeded him, and gave him victory over his enemies; this has been verified in Christ, who has conquered sin, Satan, the world, death, and the grave: for this is not to be understood of the way and course of David's life and conversation, which was not perfect and unspotted, but had many blemishes and imperfections in it, which he often owns, confesses, and bewails.” - John Gill
