"The devil leaveth Him, and behold, angels came and ministered unto Him. There appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him."
Matthew 4:11; Luke 22:43
These verses fill us with holy wonder. That the Creator of the universe, should Himself be the subject of the ministrations of His creatures—angels ministering to Him, and strengthening Him. Our finite minds are unable to comprehend the magnitude of this thought, but faith accepts it, and we rejoice to think, that if He—the perfect Man—received angelic support, how much more are we, in our weakness and frailty, the subject of their daily ministrations. —W. H. Burnett
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand,
upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.
