Connect Psalm 68:35 with another verse highlighting God's strength and power. Psalm 68 : 35 — Strength From the Sanctuary “O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!” Ephesians 6 : 10 — Standing in His Mighty Power “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” Shared Themes to Notice • God alone is the source of genuine power. • His strength is both awe-inspiring (Psalm 68) and accessible for everyday battles (Ephesians 6). • Power is not hoarded by God; it is imparted to His covenant people. How the Two Verses Interlock • Psalm 68 shows the power proceeding from God’s “sanctuary” — His holy presence. • Ephesians 6 calls believers to draw on that same power “in the Lord,” underscoring that intimacy with Him is the channel for strength. • Together they move us from worship (recognizing God’s might) to warfare (relying on that might). Supporting Snapshots of the Same Truth - Psalm 29 : 11 — “The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.” - Isaiah 40 : 29 — “He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might He increases strength.” - 2 Timothy 2 : 1 — “You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Practical Takeaways • Worship first; strength flows from knowing who God is. • Anchor every task, conflict, or calling in “His mighty power,” not personal resolve. • Expect God to furnish present-tense power just as He did for Israel, because His character has not changed. Closing Reflection The God who thunders from His sanctuary in Psalm 68 is the very One who equips believers in Ephesians 6. He delights to pour out strength; our part is to stay near, believe, and walk forward in His power. |
