The Lord is my strength and song

The Lord is my strength and song

"
The Lord is my strength and song . He has become my salvation!" Exodus 15:2

When we realize that the Lord is our salvation and strength—then we can make Him our song. Under a lively impression of all that He is to us, and of all that He has done for us—our hearts overflow with gratitude, and with our voices we sing His praise.

Show me, O Lord, by Your Holy Spirit, day by day . . .
  that You are "my salvation,"
  that You have redeemed me with the precious blood of Christ,  
  that You have saved me from all condemnation, "the curse of the law," and "the wrath to come,"
  that You are my deliverer from the power of sin, and the tyranny of Satan.

Allow me also to realize that You are "my strength." While I feel my own impotence and helplessness—enable me to rely on Your power, and to prove the all-sufficiency of Your grace. With You for my strength—I can go forward trustfully to conflict and duty. In Your might, I can . . .
  surmount difficulties,
  endure trials,
  overcome my foes,
  and live to Your glory!

Say then, O Lord, unto my soul, "I am your salvation and your strength," and I will be joyful in You, and will sing praise unto Your name!

Back to Every Day!
