ENGAGE: He Strengthens Me
If there was ever a verse torn apart by being ripped out of context so often, today’s passage is it. “Christian” pop-psychology tells us to memorize these words and write them on our bathroom mirror. This verse shows up on the wide receiver’s shoes. Look closely through the quarterback’s facemask; you can make it out on black strips under his eyes.

Our High Priest
