Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who uphold my life.
He will repay my enemies for their evil.
Cut them off in Your truth.—Psalm 54:4-5
These faithful words of David helped and encouraged my heart this morning by reminding me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.—Philippians 4:11-13
The Lord is our Shepherd.
The Lord is He who upholds our souls.
The Lord is on our side.
The Lord is among those who help us.
Beloved…If our God is for us, who can be against us…
He that by his providence upholds all things by his grace upholds the souls of his people. God, who will in due time save his people, does, in the mean time, sustain them and bear them up, so that the spirit he has made shall not fail before him.—Spurgeon
If we have the Lord and His help we have everything we need…
Father…
Help me, like David, to speak words of faith. You are the One who upholds me by Your truth. You are the One who keeps me from sinking under the burdens of this life. I have all and abound because You supply all that I need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. You also executes perfect justice against the wicked, therefore, I wait on You and pray as David does here: Lord…Cut them off in Your truth!
