THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH

 

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God! Psalm 68:35 “The Lord is my strength” TO GO ON. He gives us power to tread the dead level, to walk the long lane that seems never to have a turning, to go through those long reaches of life which afford no pleasant surprise, and which depress the spirits in the sameness of a terrible drudgery. GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights! Habakkuk 3:19 “The Lord is my strength” TO GO UP. He is to me the power by which I can climb the hill of difficulty and not be afraid or lose heart. But those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31 “The Lord is my strength” TO SIT STILL. And how difficult this can be! How we fret when we're compelled to wait or be quiet, and all the while we're thinking; “If only I could do something!” As thy days, so shall thy strength be. Deuteronomy 33:25 “The Lord is my strength” TO GO DOWN. As we get older, or in times of sickness; it's difficult to lose the strength and ability of our youth. But God is with us through all the stages of our lives.
