The God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
Verse Takeaways

God Prepares You for Action
Commentators explain that "girdeth me with strength" uses the powerful image of a warrior or laborer tying up their long robes with a belt (a girdle) to prepare for action. This isn't just about raw power; it's about God actively equipping and preparing you for the specific challenges and tasks He has set before you, whether in your work, family, or spiritual battles.
