Where do you find your strength?

The nations of the world boast on their military strength. Their military might gives them national confidence and a sure footing among the neighboring nations. Many individuals boast in their weapons, and even how smart they are. But that is limited in nature. There will always be someone mightier and smarter that you. For the believer, their confidence and boast is in the Lord. He is the one who makes us strong. He is the one who miraculously delivers us from the hand of the enemy. He is the one that gives us the victory! I will make my boast in the Lord. I will put my trust in the Lord. Weapons may fail you. Your knowledge may fail you, but God in Christ in never fail you!

Psalm 20:7 (TPT) Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in the Lord our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!

He is holding my hand!

I’ll never forget the joy of holding my children’s hands as we walked. I had to slow down to their speed, and I had to help them because sometimes they would slip. They would have fallen if I wasn’t holding their hand. They were happy and confident because they were holding Daddy’s hand, and Daddy was thrilled to be able to walk with them. In the same way, our precious Heavenly Father holds us up in the midst of the many perils that we experience during our journey. Psalm 37: 23,24 says: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand”. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father is walking with me and He upholds me with His hand. Even when I stumble, He doesn’t let me fall. Be reminded today that your Heavenly Father is journeying together with you. Even though you might stumble, He’s got you! His glorious hand is there steadying and upholding you. You are not alone. He will help you to get to the finished line!
