Chris.
We need to endeavour to be strong spiritually. God’s ways of making us strong are quite unique. Firstly, He says that His Joy will make us strong spiritually. We should ask God to give us that Joy. Secondly, His Words tells us that when we are weak that is the time when we can be spiritually strong. Thirdly, God gives us His Holy Spirit to give us strength in our inner man – this is spiritual strength.
