THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH

Memorise:
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. .. Exodus 15:2

Read:
Psalm 20:1-4

Message

When you make Jesus your Lord, you will never lack strength. Psalm 84:5 says, "Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them." When people are complaining of tiredness and weakness, a fellow who has made Jesus Christ his or her Lord will keep going from strength to strength.

    They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.    ...Psalm 84:7

If you are a child of God, every time you come before Him, He gives you a greater dose of strength than the one you had before. Nobody appears before God and leaves weak and weary. If you come before God discouraged, you will leave encouraged. If you come tired, you will leave strengthened, God's presence supplies endless strength to weary hearts. In areas where you are weak, your Lord will make His strength available to you if you wait on Him. Isaiah 40:29-31 says:

    He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Another way God strengthens His children is by sending good news their way so that their hearts will be filled with joy. I pray that God will send you good news that will strengthen your heart, in Jesus' name.

I remember when we were building the Redemption Camp(now Redemption City), we built a house from its foundation and completed it in just seven days. I was constantly supervising the construction, but I didn't feel tired in any way. This was because I was excited about what God was doing, and the Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength.

    ...for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.    ...Nehemiah 8:10

The joy of the Lord supplies abundant strength, and strength is the ability to do whatever you want to do. When you have strength, you will be able to do everything your heart desires to do for God. I pray for you today that the Lord will strengthen you and fill your heartwith joy, in Jesus' name.

King James Version

Psalm 20:1-4

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; [2] Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; [3] Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. [4] Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
RCCG Hymn

What a friend we have in Jesus

  1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
    All our sins and griefs to bear;
    What a privilege to carry
    Ev'rything to God in prayer.
    Oh, what peace we often forfeit.
    Oh, what needless pain we bear
    All because we do not carry
    Ev'rything to God in prayer.
  2. Have we trials and temptations?
    Is there trouble anywhere?
    W e should never be discouraged.
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Can we find a Friend so faithful
    Who will all our sorrows share?
    Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness,
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
  3. Are we weak and heavy laden.
    Cumbered with a load of care?
    Precious Saviour, still our refuge.
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
    Thou wilt find a solace there.
