The Lord is the Strength of His People!

 Becky Harling

Day 2

“The LORD is the strength of His people, a fortress of salvation for His anointed one.” – Ps-28:8

The Invitation

“My beloved, I know you are tired. My strength is the perfect match for your weakness. I never grow fatigued or weary; I never lack the energy to accomplish My purposes. Praise Me for My unlimited strength. When you are weak & you praise Me, you give Me the opportunity to showcase My power. So don’t be discouraged by your weaknesses; instead, praise Me that I promise to sustain & help you. I will hold you up in the moments when you feel you cannot continue. As you praise Me, My Spirit will pour strength into your soul & you will feel renewed energy rising.” (Ps.28:8; Is.40:28-29; 2Cor.12:9;

Is.41:10)

Today, praise God for His immeasurable strength & awesome power. Praise Him that He promises to renew the strength of those who spend time in His presence & that He will give you enough strength for the coming days. Whenever you feel low in energy, immediately praise God that His power is perfected in your weakness.

“O my Strength, to You I sing praises, for You, O God, are my refuge, the God Who shows me unfailing love.” (Ps.59:17 NLT)

Listen

Listen to “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)” performed by Paul Baloche, “Please Be My Strength” performed by Gungor, & “Stronger” performed by Mandisa. Listen for His voice as you worship. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to create the space for more rest in your life.

Pray

I praise You, Lord, because You are my refuge & strength even during times of stress. You arm me with power when tasks feel impossible & when life feels challenging. I praise You that when I feel exhausted, You invite me to rest in You, reassuring me that You are not demanding or harsh in Your expectations for me. You promise all those who hope in You that You will renew their strength, helping them to soar on wings like eagles. Those who put their hope in You will run & not grow weary; they will walk & not faint. Thank You that when I feel weak, I can move out of the way & trust Your strength. I praise You this day that You will provide the strength I need to be who You have called me to be. (Ps.46:10; 2Sam.22:2-3; Mat.11:28; Is.40:31)
