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!

In His presence!

Every creature has an optimal environment that allows them to live and thrive. To the fish, it’s the ocean. To the bird, it’s the sky. To the Christian, it’s God’s presence.  Psalm 140:13 “Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence“. In His presence, we are made strong. We are cleansed, We receive His joy. We receive wisdom. We are protected. We receive His mercy. We are protected from our enemies. We are secure. We are loved. We see with His eyes. We feel His heart. We get answers for our prayers. We experience resurrection power. We receive spiritual, mental and emotional healing. His presence is the place where we live and thrive. Have you experienced His presence?

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy”.
