It isn’t that the Lord has everlasting strength, He is everlasting strength. These two wonderful verses end like this: “ For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.” If the Lord calls us to rely on Him completely with our mind, He appeals to our mind with a rational reason why we should trust the Lord – because He is everlasting strength.
