What has the Lord shown you?
David expresses deep affection for God. He recognizes that God is the source of his strength, not his own power or abilities. It's an expression of deep affection and devotion to God. When life feels overwhelming, this reminds us that we are not standing on our own strength. God Himself is our strength. You may feel weak, tired, or unsure—but your security does not depend on how strong you feel. It depends on how strong God is, and He never fails. Whatever you are facing today, you can run to Him with confidence, knowing He is stable, protective, and faithful to save.
How do you obey it?
- Declare God’s protection in your life: Speak God’s truth over your life and circumstances, and share how He has delivered you to encourage others.
- Recognize God as your strength: When you feel weak, anxious, or stressed, turn to God for strength and guidance, trusting Him in difficult tasks and relationships instead of relying solely on yourself.
- Love God with your whole heart: Center your heart and priorities on God by spending time in prayer and Scripture, making choices that honor Him even when inconvenient, and cultivating daily gratitude and worship.
- Trust God to deliver you: Rely on God to save you spiritually and practically by letting Him handle situations you cannot fix and trusting His timing instead of trying to control everything.
Reflection
In what ways can you show your love for God daily, not just in words but in actions? How have you experienced God’s strength in your life before? What situations are you trying to control instead of trusting God’s timing and power? Do you acknowledge God as your deliverer and protector regularly, or only in crises? How can you encourage others by sharing how God has been your deliverer and stronghold?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I love You, my strength and my refuge. You are my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. In every trial, I take shelter in You, trusting You to protect me and guide me. Be my shield in times of fear, my stronghold in times of weakness, and the source of my victory. Teach me to rely on You fully, to worship You daily, and to testify of Your faithfulness in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
