GOD: OUR STRENGTH


“The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments” Habakkuk 3:19.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW:  God is our ready help.

We were not made to be self-sufficient; we were made to depend on God and to rest on His strength. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength”, He is a safe place to hide. When you stand on His word, you are hiding in a place. When you believe Him, walk in His principles. By the arms of flesh shall no man prevail, but by the strength of God shall even the weak among us prevail. You are not to trust in chariots and horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright (Psalms 20:7). It is not because you live in a bullet proof house or you buckled your door last night that made you sleep securely and woke up this morning unhurt by the arrows that fly in the night. No! But it is by the prevailing and unfailing strength of God that kept you alive for, “except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain” (Psalms 127:1).

Stop relying on what you can do by strength, start trusting on what God can do through you because God gives power to the faint and to those who have no might, He increases strength (Isaiah 40:29). You may be going through challenges and don’t know what to do, instead of relying on self effort run to God. He is your strength and refuge, your present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). There is no situation bigger than God; He wants to help you now. Come to Him and you will be surprised how He will welcome you be His strength against the oppositions of your enemies.

INSTRUCTION: Come to God. There is nothing to difficult for Him.


PRAYER: Lord, help me to trust you to take care of me.


QUOTE: God takes from you to make for you.
