Our place of strength is found in the Lord. But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. Psalm 37:39
Scarcely, I’m afraid, does the child of God depend on the deliverance or the strength of God. We tip toe down the path of life when our steps should be strong in the Lord our God. I am not speaking of arrogance or a smugness that derives its position power from ones self. I am speaking of an inner strength that has its origin in the Lord and His mighty word. From such strength comes an outer mettle that is of the Lord. If one would memorize our verse and couple it with Psalm 27:1-2 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid. When the wicked, even mine enemies and foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell." we would be spiritual lions and not kittens. God is our strength in times of trouble. It is only in times of trouble that we can learn such strength. When the wicked rage against the righteous, the God of the righteous shall be their salvation and strength.
Fear is too often a very real factor in the life of the redeemed. Let's take God at His word and live a life that counts and causes others to take notice of our faith in the living God.
