"The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but the God of Isreal is he that giveth strength and power unto his people...God is a refuge for us."
Abigail wrote this to John after hearing gunshots and cannon fire for days and days. Abigail felt anxious and restless about the future for the colonies, for she knew that war was not far ahead. This quote means the world to me as I see the sufferings of those all over the world, including those I know, and within myself. Abigail knew that God would give whosoever needed strength, strength. The knowledge that God protects his children who are in difficult circumstances is a solace to me. God is watching over everyone and giving them the strength to get through. Abigail's knowledge of this truth reminded me that I must turn to God for strength when I am at a loss.
