Isaiah
27:5
5 Or let him take hold [chazaq] of my strength [ma`owz],
that he may make [`asah] peace [shalowm] with me; and he shall make [`asah] peace [shalowm] with me. KJV-Interlinear
5 Or let them lay hold of my
protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me.” ESV
Or, as an alternative, instead of opposing God, people
can take hold of Gods strength, and as a result, acquire peace with God.
But how does one acquire Gods strength?
And that is the easiest question to answer, but the
most difficult one to accomplish. And not
because gaining Gods strength is difficult, but because people simply do not do
it.
Bible doctrine is Gods strength, and our access to His
strength.
Through doctrine we learn truth.
Through confession we reside in the environment of
sinless perfection.
Through commitment to a daily study, we advance in our
spiritual lives.
And, through advancement in our spiritual lives, we
build up our soul with His power and therefore His strength.
And faith in spiritual maturity, is the result.
A daily Bible study results in the certainty of
attaining Gods peace, a relaxed mental attitude, orientation to life,
preparation for eternity, and the construction of ones soul with intrinsic
value that will last forever.
