Strength for today is mine all the way, really? And all that I need for tomorrow, really? Why?
The reason is in our text of today—The Lord will give (i) unyielding and impenetrable strength to His people; (ii) the Lord will bless His people with peace.
That’s coming from the only One who has the power of tomorrow, our heavenly Father!
Our cry should be ‘O Lord, do unto me according to Thy word! You will give me strength and bless me with Your peace!’
The peace that He gives is different from man’s that is based on brokered and negotiated conditions. So in these days when stress is an incontestable fact of life, chose to ask Him for His peace!
Think on these scriptures:
- A sound heart is the life of the flesh. Proverbs 14:30a;
- Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7, and
- Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
and you will find rest for your soul. Selah
