And the LORD Shall Help Them...

But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;

He is their strength in the time of trouble.—Psalm 37:39

“Lord, have mercy on me for I am weak” was my cry this morning as I opened His word.  Father, thank you for this reminder!  Oh how my heart needed it this morning. The LORD is my strength in my trouble. Today, I want to live right here in the truth of this verse.  The LORD...the omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent God, not only gives me strength in times of trouble but He IS my strength!    

When my soul is in despair within me...when my burdens are more than I can bear, I will remember that the Lord my God becomes for me my strength, my refuge and my help.  My burdens are nothing to the One who is so near to me that all His power is mine.  My burdens are not too heavy for my God whose unfailing love toward me never ceases. I have enough strength for today, because He is my strength. In me, weakness abounds, but in Him is perfected strength. The truth of verse 40 jumps off the page and into my heart.  

“And the LORD shall help them”—Psalm 37:40a

The LORD is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,

And with my song I will praise Him.

8 The LORD is their strength,

And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

9 Save Your people,

And bless Your inheritance;

Shepherd them also,

And bear them up forever.—Psalm 28:7-9
