The Lord is My Strength

Lady of Light

The Lord is my strength. As the psalmist David points out in Ps. 28 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusteth in him and I am helped therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth and with my song will praise him."

We can trust in the Lord because we learn in the bible, the many things he will do for us, and the strength he provides. In verse 6 of Ps. 28, for example, David declares,"Blessed be the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplications." There are other places, too that indicate that the lord hears and answers our prayers and supplications.

The Lord is my strength. In verse 8 of Ps. 28, David says, "The Lord is their strength and he is the saving straength of his anointed. So the Lord doesn't only provide strength, he provides SAVING strength.

The Lord is a healer. In Ps. 30, verse 2, David writes, "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me."

The Lord transfors our sorrow into joy. in Ps. 30, Verse 11 David exclaims,"Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing; hst put off my sakcloth, and girded me with gladness."

So it seems, that regardless of what we are feeling or what we are going through we can count on the Lord to hear our supplications, give us strength, heal us, and turn our sorrow into joy.

The wonderful thing about reading the bible is that we come to know more and more about the Lord and what he does and can do for each one of us.

We have much to be thankful for as we meditate on these things. When situations seem impossible, or moods prevail, we can turn to the Lord and expect great things, as David did. There is just no reason to remain in a negative state of mind or a sad state of being. The Lord is my strength. I am ever so grateful for this good news and I wanted to share it with you.

God Bless You. Have a great day!
