He is MY Strength

The LORD is the strength of my life…The LORD is…my strength, in whom I will trust. (Psalm 27:1 and 18:2)

Living by grace involves depending upon God to work in our lives. For the greater part of his life, David was an outstanding example of such living. This was certainly evident in the way David frequently confessed the Lord as his strength. Everyone in this world needs strength just to deal with the daily responsibilities and challenges of life. When you add the calling and desire of believers to honor God, much strength is needed day by day. David confessed the Lord as his strength for living. How wonderful to know that the Lord is with us to impart His strength in us for every aspect of our lives, whether home, or work, or ministry, or whatever. In our lives, we need strength to stay on course. The world, the flesh, and the devil want to prevent us from progressing down the Lord's perfect path. David found in the Lord the strength for this need. At times, when walking along our designated path of life, we get trapped in nets, laid by the enemy of our souls. When David experienced these traps, he cried out to God for the necessary strength. At other times along our path, the problem is not a trap, but an all-out battle. Look to him for the strength you need; His word says He will never leave you nor forsake you. Just trust in Him for all your needs
