Psalm 28:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Have you ever thought about this scripture? I mean really thought about it? I was walking through the pages of my life when I stopped and thought about each time…God was my strength…how when I was collapsed in a heap of jumbled emotions…He came along and gently lifted my broken soul…when I was a much younger woman and had no real moral compass…He sent His people to bring direction…when the cold hand of death knocked on my door and spirited away a loved one or dear friend…He allowed me to fall into His arms and weep in His chest…He stayed with me and gently rocked me to sleep…and when the wounds of betrayal and deception assaulted my heart…He sat as a compassionate physician and poured His healing balm on that broken heart and He whispered “grace words” that inspired me to continue on…when sitting in a crowded room….and I still felt alone…He sat alongside me…and said…”I am with you“…when challenged financially..somehow…(I still don’t know how)…He provided…when I was sick…He nursed me back to health…when I was confused…He course corrected my wayward mind…He has been my strength…when I didn’t even know He was there…He is my strength as I sit here and reminisce about all the roles He plays in my life… and He will be my strength as the calendar of my days tick away…He ALONE is my strength…somehow…today…this truth has given me amazing peace…My hope is that it summoned peace into your heart today, too💕
Lord…thank you for this wonderful reminder…no matter what thing is happening in my life…I don’t have to search for strength…because you are my strength…you are my strong tower…thank you for allowing me to run in whenever I need to…I am grateful for your great love toward me…In Jesus Name
