Lord, YOU are my strength!
“JEHOVAH UZZI”
(The Lord my strength - Psalms 28:7)
“JEHOVAH TSURI”
(O Lord my strength - Psalm 19:14)
“My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. “ Psalm 73:26
New Living Translation (©2007)
Read Psalm 28 & Psalm 73
As we have daily encountered the circumstances of life, we have realized that we have only maintained the ability to yet be triumphant because of an inner strength that has been and always will be prevalent. This strength is not our strength, but strength of the Lord.
The word in the above text for strength translates as “rock”. Lord may I remember that you are my perpetual “ROCK”. When all else fails—you will remain constant. Even if there comes a time when my health, wealth, and spirit become overwhelmed—you are still my strength. Daily may I never attempt to stand in my own strength. Daily may I acknowledge you in all of my ways. Daily may I remember that I CAN do all things through your strength that will be that rock, that pillar and that fortress forever in my life.
So Lord, when everything: every foundation, every prop, every support system that has been erected in my life—is shaken….may I never, never, never forget that YOU are my strength…..my rock.
May I fully understand and cling to the words of an old favorite hymn which states:
“On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand”.
