The Lord is my Strength and my Song, and He has
become my Salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God,
and I will exalt Him. —Exodus 15:2
We need to be like Moses and the Israelites, whom
we read about in the verse for today. I want to point out that God not only
gave them strength (we see that throughout the Old Testament), but He Himself
was their Strength. First Samuel 15:29 refers to God as “the Strength of
Israel.” You see, there was a time when Israel knew God was their Strength, but
then they forgot. When they forgot this vitally important truth, they always
began to falter and fail as a nation, and their lives began to be destroyed.
When they turned back to God as their Strength, things turned around for them.
Even if you know that God is your Strength, you
still must receive it by faith. I begin every day by telling God that I cannot
do anything apart from Him and that I lean entirely on Him to enable and
strengthen me. He will strengthen us by speaking a word that encourages us or
gives us direction when we need it. He will strengthen us by speaking words of
wisdom and insight. He also strengthens us physically by giving us supernatural
energy when we are tired or weary, and He gives us strength to endure difficult
people and situations.
Trust God to be your Strength rather than trying to
do things yourself. You may have a lot of people leaning on you and you can
only help them as you lean and rely on God. Receive Him today by faith as the
Strength of your life and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish with
ease.
God’s word for you today: Let
God be your Strength.
