The Lord, My Strength

"I will love thee, O Lord, my strength."  Psalm 18:1.  The Lord gives strength from a fountain that never empties.  The Lord has all strength, and gives it freely to those who love Him.  His strength empowers us, His children.  We are strong because He is strong.  None of our enemies can overcome us because our Lord gives us His strength.  No foe can defeat us for we have His strength.  In this world, old Satan comes with all his force.  He brings every scheme so that he might bring us down.  But, alas, no power is greater than that power of our Lord.  The devil confronted our Lord, and walked away in a humiliating defeat.  So it will be when he comes to us.  Pray for His strength to bless us.  Seek to be strong in Him.  His power drowned the Egyptians.  His strength dried up the heavens for Elijah, and no rain fell.  His might closed the mouths of the lions, and put out the devouring fire for Daniel and the Hebrew boys.  His power was stronger than Herod's chains, and loosed Peter from prison.  His power opens the gates of heaven, and closes the door of hell.  Love Him as Lord, and be strong always.
