THE LORD'S STRENGTH

Isaiah 26:4
"Trust in the Lord forever,
For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength."

I love this verse because at just simplifies the entire Bible down to one thing, "Trust in the Lord."

Just think how better off we would be as a nation and a people if we put our trust in the Lord and not in man. If, during our many moments of weakness, we turned to God for help and drew from His strength instead of making rash decisions based on our flesh, we would avoid a lot of heart aches, regrets and bad decisions.

At times we want to "go it alone" or "follow our instincts" or "go with our heart" but all these end up in a decision of the flesh when instead we need to seek the Lord and trust in Him no matter what the crisis or the concern.

Psalm 31:3
"For You are my rock and my fortress;
Therefore, for Your name’s sake,
Lead me and guide me."

Nahum 1:7
"The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And He knows those who trust in Him. "

Do you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ today?
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ today?
Does He know you?
