The Lord is our strength and
protector; our heart truly trusts in him, because He is always available to
assist us at the first sign of trouble. Our heart soars with delight, and we
cannot help but to shower Him with our praise and thanksgiving. The Lord
provides power for His people. He is our fortress and our salvation (Psalm
28:7-8).
Our soul is often exhausted with
grief; yet in His love, the Lord fortifies us with His Holy Word (Psalm
119:28). He gives strength to the weary and amplifies the ability
of the frail (Isaiah 40:29). He is our might and He fills our
heart with songs. He provides our constant salvation (Psalm
118:14).
We will never fail in carrying
out what God calls us to do, because He gives us His strength (Philippians
4:13; Ephesians 2:10). Though we are weak in our own human strength, we
are strong in His anointing, power and might (Ephesians 6:10). His
grace is always sufficient to perfect His power in our weakness (2
Corinthians 12:9-10).
We rise up on the wings of eagles
and soar high above the aspects of this earth, which attempt to debilitate and
discourage us. Even as young people, life exhausts us and we stumble and fall.
However, if we hope in the Lord's provision, He renews our strength and we can accomplish
all that He calls us to do without growing weary (Isaiah 40:29-31; Galatians
6:9).
Prayer:
Father God, You are gracious to
us all day long. We desire nothing from this life except a closer walk with
You. You give us renewed energy with each new dawn and You deliver us from
everything that distresses us (Isaiah 33:2). In this cruel and wicked world,
we pray that You will continue to strengthen us with the power of Your Spirit
in our soul - our thoughts, feelings and choices - as well as in our Born Again
spirit (Ephesians 3:16).
Thought for the Day:
The Lord gives us the ability to
traverse the hard and treacherous places in life through His strength within
us. - Habakkuk 3:19
