"The Church sees her case bad, her enemies many and mighty, her friends few and feeble; and therefore she depends purely upon the strength of God's arm for her relief." (Matthew Henry) "In our spiritual warfare, our own hands are not sufficient for us, nor can we bring anything to pass unless God not only strengthen our arms, but be Himself our arm. If God leave us to ourselves any morning, we are undone; we must, therefore, every morning commit ourselves to Him, and go forth in His strength to do the work of the day in its day." (The Biblical Illustrator)
