Strength From God, Not You
Commentators unanimously stress that the command to "be strong" is not a call to muster your own willpower. Rather, it is an instruction to find your strength "in the Lord." Scholars explain this is the same divine power that raised Jesus from the dead. Your role is to actively rely on and receive this power from God, not to generate it yourself.
