Strength, Song and Deliverance!
Verse for Today: Sunday, November 03, 2013
Psalms 118:14 – The Lord is my strength and my song; He
has become my salvation.
When our strength waxes and wanes away, we need an anchor to
hold on to. When we shed tears, we need a sweet song to help us forget our
sorrows. But the world is unable to provide us with such a bulwark to hold on
to. Our weaknesses are taken advantages of by the world by giving us ineffective
support systems which make us slaves to it. We thus lose our freedom and
independence. The world’s entertainments prove to be hollow and do not impact
us a bit. The temporary solace that we get for our heart aches, pain and misery
bind us to it and never deliver us from its clutches. Man thus becomes a puppet
in the hands of the artificial, and masquerades to show joy. Every support
system that the world offers makes man to pay for it from his pocket. Every song
that he listens to makes man to pay for it from his pocket or with his precious
time. Yet it doesn’t give man strength nor does it take away his misery. But
God comes to man to give him strength to weather away the storms in life. God’s
power comes to man through His Spirit, the greatest powerhouse in this
universe. When God gives man a soothing and healing song in the darkest hours
of his lonely night, it gives him strength to face his unknown tomorrows with
courage and confidence. But for God to come into our lives, we must invite
Jesus Christ into our hearts as our Savior and Lord. When we surrender our
lives and concerns to God, His Spirit will empower us to face the rough patches
of life with confidence and faith. His Spirit who dwells in our hearts will
give us songs for our souls which give us consolation, courage and hope to face
the future. God comes to offer us His salvation and deliverance from all our
situations and gives us the power to sing even in the most difficult
situations.
Dear friend, are you weak and tired of the battles in your
life? Is your energy drained away because of the way the storms in life beat
against you day after day? Are you grieved about your situation from which you
find it difficult to get out? Today God comes to you to give you strength to
face your situation with courage and confidence. He will fill your heart with
His message of strength and comfort. His Spirit will enable you to sing songs
of victory and hope in the lonely hours of the night and help you to find
deliverance from the emotional strain that you have been experiencing. He will
fill you with His Spirit and will enable you to put all your faith in God. The
Spirit of God will empower you to respond positively as you face difficulties.
Your sorrow will turn to joy and your disappointment will turn to hope. Your
life will be one of renewed strength day by day as you are prepared by God to
face your emerging situations. The songs which He gives you will comfort you
and help you to minister to those who go through rough times in their lives. Joseph,
Elijah and Daniel experienced such power from God when they went through shattering
circumstances. They allowed God’s Spirit to control their hearts and emotions
and so were able to experience the calmness and composure that the Spirit gave
them in the midst of most trying times. Today God’s strength is available to us
in the right measure according to our situations and needs to weather away the
storms that come our way.
Psalms 40:3 – He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of
praise to our God.
Thought for Today
In the worst scenarios of our lives, the Lord gives us
strength to sing sweet songs of deliverance.
Prayer for Today
Dear Lord Jesus: Help me to find strength in Your might and sing
by faith in all my circumstances. Amen!
