Day 110
Psalm 27:1
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Since God is our Creator, it is obvious that we owe all honor and praise to Him for all we are able to do naturally. When the psalmist, David, said the Lord was his light and salvation and the strength of his life, he was recognizing God as his source for more than just natural things. He was declaring his acceptance of God as a personal Savior. That enabled David to receive supernatural help. He experienced strength he would not have had within the boundaries of human limitations.
A songwriter wrote that the blood (referring to the blood of Jesus) that gives strength on a daily basis would never lose its power. He was alluding to a source of strength that surpasses human ability.
Jesus referred to Himself as a vine, and to us as branches that draw life from the vine. He cautioned us that we must stay connected to Him to avoid becoming useless. There is a supernatural source of power available to us, but only if we choose to benefit from it.
Let us choose to draw strength from God today. Like David, may we, from our hearts, declare the Lord to be the strength of our lives. As we declare it, let us realize that we need to stay connected to Him to be able to go beyond our natural abilities. He will help us do what we cannot do without Him, and we will glorify Him for it.
The Lord is the strength of my life. I remain connected to Him, thereby drawing life from Him. I will glorify Him for all I can do, because of His life flowing in and through me.
