“Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; as your days, so shall your strength be.” ~Deuteronomy 33.25 NKJV

“…for you have not passed this way before.” ~Joshua 3.4 ESV

“…for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” ~Proverbs 27.1 / James 4.14 LSB

“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” ~1 Corinthians 10.13 LSB

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become weary or tired. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weary and tired, and to him who lacks vigor He increases might. Though youths grow weary and tired, and choice young men stumble badly – Yet those who hope in Yahweh will gain new power; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not get tired; they will walk and not become weary.” ~Isaiah 40.28-31

I’ve never walked in this way before,

and I cannot tell what the day holds in store…

but God has a promise that is sufficient for me:

He says, “As your day is…so shall your strength be!”

“As your day is, so shall your strength be!”

Give me the wisdom to walk, LORD, with Thee…

Give me the power to live faithfully,

and, as my day is, so let my strength be.

Troubles all around me, and fears rage within,

so prone to wander, so tempted by sin –

but when I’m at my weakest, Your promise I see!

“As your day is…so shall your strength be!”

“As your day is, so shall your strength be!”

Give me the wisdom to walk, LORD, with Thee…

Give me the power to live faithfully,

and, as my day is, so let my strength be.

Run, and not be weary…walk, and not faint –

live with thanksgiving, and without complaint –

soar like the eagle…from earth’s chains be free,

and “As your day is…so shall your strength be!”

“As your day is, so shall your strength be!”

Give me the wisdom to walk, LORD, with Thee…

Give me the power to live faithfully,

and, as my day is, so let my strength be.
