Wait, wait, wait.

I've been looking at the words wrong!

"Strengthened against attack"

I have always looked at that as simply meaning strong enough to withstand an attack.

It is more than that.

Believers are strengthened AGAINST attack.
Which seems to imply to me that the attack will not be able to hurt us.

Go with me on this...I'll be right back...

Because I sure do a lot of whining & complaining about something that might not even be able to TOUCH me...

Stand by...
