Waxed Strong in Spirit
Luke 1:80
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.


We need strong men — Elijah-like, John-the-Baptist-like men in these "perilous times," and "spiritual" strength is incomparably the strongest, the most celestial, the most Christly of all strength.

(A. B. Grosart, LL. D.).
