My Strength

I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
Psalm 118:1-3

Where are you finding your strength this morning? 
The Psalmist found his strength in the Lord.  
His Lord was his rock, fortress, deliverer, strength, shield, horn of salvation and stronghold.  
He knew without a doubt who his Lord was in his life. 
Because of that assurance, he was able to call upon the Lord and Praise Him.  
Who are you calling on today? 
Can they meet all of your needs? 
Are they your rock, fortress, deliverer, strength, shield and horn of salvation?  
If not, then you are settling for less than what is available for you. 
The Lord can be all these things in your life – 
but you have to know that He is and then you have to call out to Him.  
Are you ready to find all that you need in one place today?  
Call out to the Lord, mighty and strong, faithful and merciful.  
My Strength!

Faithful God!


This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
Lamentations 3:21-24

When the day is dark and gray and the rain falls and the wind blows. 
When you open your eyes and wonder how you will get both feet on the ground. 
When you look around and wonder how you will take another step. 
When you see that the “to do” list is longer than the day. 
When the weariness inside pushes through to the outside. 
We all find ourselves in this place at some time. 
What do we do when this is the case?
The writer of Lamentations could relate, but when faced with the realities of his life, he choose to “recall to my mind”. 
He choose to remember. 
He choose to move his thoughts from the facts of his circumstances to the hope that he had in the Lord.
 “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed.”
Why are we not consumed? 
“Because His compassions fail not.” 
How often can we access these compassions?
“They are new every morning.”
“Great is your faithfulness” we cry out to the Lord!
