Mighty in Strength

Psalm 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation;

     whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life;

     of whom shall I be afraid?  (NKJ)

     Trusting and believing in the sovereignty of God is the only way we can maintain the staying power

it takes to survive the onslaught of attacks from the Enemy of God and this fallen world, and do it with fearless joy in our hearts and the hope for better days ahead.  The powerful forces of evil that are con-summing our world are much too strong for mere human strength alone.  And sadly, for many of us when our human strength is not enough, we turn to alcohol, drugs, sex, money, gambling, working, shopping, and many other kinds of worldly gods that only numb the pain of our failures and give us a false sense of courage to face another day and the hopelessness it brings.  It is our fallen human nature to first search the world for things that can satisfy our deepest human longings, often ignoring our Creator who is the only One that can fill our deepest desires and deliver us from our fears. 

     Whenever I ponder the awesome power of God, it always amazes me that we have this incredible power readily available to give us the winning resources we need to fight and win the everyday battles for our minds, hearts and souls.  It is only because of God’s unconditional love and His mercy and grace that gives us the chance to overcome the dark forces of this world that want to defile God’s glory, one person at a time.  By trusting and relying on the Lord God to lead your life-journey will give you the strength and wisdom to fight the Enemy of your soul.  My dear friends, our awesome God created us in such a way that we would always need to depend on Him for all our needs; both in this life and in the next.  And once you understand and believe this truth, you can boldly face each and every new day with both confidence and peace that the victory is yours, because you are living in Christ Jesus the Lord and Savior of the world; the One who conquered sin and death for you and you now wear His robe of righteous. 

                                         A Whisper of Hope

Walk with Me…dear child, in this new year, for when you do you will have all you need for living in this uncertain and difficult world.  I will fill you with strength, wisdom, and the power of the Holy Spirit for this new adventure into unknown territory for you.  Do not cling to the old sinful ways you have, instead, seek My new and holy Way.

 Job 9:4                                             

For God is so wise and so mighty. 

Who has ever challenged Him

successfully?  (NLT)

                   

                Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD 

                                 is your strength.

                                              (Nehemiah 8:10)
