Bible verses about strength.
Biblical strength takes several forms: waiting, finding refuge, learning contentment, and receiving grace in weakness. Philippians 4:13 belongs to Paul’s account of living through both need and abundance. Read alongside Isaiah, the Psalms, and 2 Corinthians, it speaks to endurance rooted in God’s care through changing circumstances.
