The scripture for today is Psalm 68:28

 

Psalms 68:28 Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have done for us.

 

The victories we experience are never indicators of how strong we are. They are always indicators of the love, grace, and strength of our God. Almighty God, who is our Father, releases His power into the lives of those who are His and by His grace, we walk in victory instead of defeat, regardless of the obstacle. 

 

“It is our wisdom, as well as our necessity, to beseech God continually to strengthen that which He has wrought in us. We often forget that the Author of our faith must be the Preserver of it also. The lamp which was burning in the temple was never allowed to go out, but it had to be daily replenished with fresh oil; in like manner, our faith can only live by being sustained with the oil of grace, and we can only obtain this from God Himself. Foolish virgins we shall prove if we do not secure the needed sustenance for our lamps. He who built the world upholds it, or it would fall in one tremendous crash; He who made us Christians must maintain us by His Spirit, or our ruin will be speedy and final. Let us, then, evening by evening, go to our Lord for the grace and strength we need. We have a strong argument to plead, for it is His own work of grace which we ask Him to strengthen--"that which Thou hast wrought for us." Think you He will fail to protect and sustain that? Only let your faith take hold of His strength... Why faint when you may be strong? Why suffer defeat when you may conquer? Oh! take your wavering faith and drooping graces to Him who can revive and replenish them, and earnestly pray, "Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us." Charles Spurgeon

 

God hears our prayers; He never ignores us. When we cry out to Him, He gives strength to His people. He is our Father; we are His beloved. “What a blessed thought: to His own children God imparts His strength and thus makes them equal to every situation that may arise.” The SDA Bible Commentary, Vol.3, p.792

 

There is nothing that you will encounter today or any day that is too difficult for God.

 

God bless you as you continue in His service.

Tim
