It may seem at first as if anyone who wants to be strong and be encouraged can just decide to do it and it happens. But it isn’t easy. We can’t be strong without some help. That is why the verse goes on to say it is for all whose hope is in the Lord. This means it is for those who are expecting something from the Lord. So how can we be strong? How can we take heart? By expecting God to be at our side and to see us through our difficulties. And the glorious part of it all is that God will fulfill our expectations. His faithfulness is acting for us.
