The Lord is clothed with strength. He is always strong, but sometimes he displays his power in a special
manner, and may therefore be said to be clothed with it. May the Lord appear in
his church, in our day, in manifest majesty and might, saving sinners, slaying
errors, and honoring his own name. Wherewith he hath girded himself. As
men gird up their loins for running or working, so the Lord appears in the eyes
of his people to be preparing for action, girt with his omnipotence. Strength
always dwells in the Lord Jehovah, but he hides his power full often, until, in
answer to his children’s cries, he puts on strength, assumes the throne, and
defends his own. It should be a constant theme for prayer that in our day the
reign of the Lord may be conspicuous, and his power displayed in his church and
on her behalf. “Thy kingdom come” should be our daily prayer: that the Lord Jesus does actually reign
should be our daily praise.
