Did you know the Bible uses the word “strength” more than 350 times?* One source puts this number just over 360, which I don’t see as a coincidence. Maybe we need at least one reminder of God’s strength for every day of the year?
They—whoever they are at the moment—point out that “be strong” shows up in various forms 13 times in the Bible, and the word “stronghold” appears 70 times in the Bible. One of my favorite phrases, “strong and courageous,”—makes an appearance three times in Deuteronomy, five times in Joshua, two times in 1 Chronicles, and one time in 2 Chronicles.
