Here we see something we all need–“strength“. Regardless of who you are or what great talents you possess, sooner or later you will face something that pushes you to your limit– and beyond. Then you realize how weak you are, and that can be frightening. What will you do? How will you cope? That’s why it is crucial for us to be mindful of God’s promises–especially this one.
Here is a promise you can rely on–” The LORD will”–that’s emphatic. There is no doubt about this. He is “Faithful” and “True”. He cannot lie. This promise comes from God Himself. Notice who it is for–“His people“. God is our Father and He is ever mindful of the needs of His children. The very hairs on their head are numbered. His all seeing eye is upon them day and night and His ear is open to hear their cry.
Regardless of how powerful the foe, or how fierce the fight, or how frail the flesh, or how great the fear, we can rest on this promise. It is as He said in Deut. 33:25,”as thy days, so shall thy strength be“. We can entertain great expectations because we rely on His strong arm. We can rest in peace because He supplieth every need. We can rejoice in every trial, because He gives songs in the night. We can resist every temptation because the One who conquered death, hell, and the grave is with us.
If you are a child of God you have special privileges unknown to others. If you are not a part of God’s family you can be by simply trusting Christ as your Lord and Savior. Do it without delay. Then you can live every day with the blessed assurance that not one of His precious promises shall ever fail you. That’s the life! – HDS, 8/8/15
