David Confessing the Lord as His Strength

The LORD is the strength of my life…The LORD is…my strength, in whom I will trust. (Psalm 27:1 and 18:2)

Living by grace involves depending upon God to work in our lives. For the greater part of his life, David was an outstanding Old Testament example of such living. This was certainly evident in the way David frequently confessed the Lord as his strength.

Everyone in this fallen world needs strength just to deal with the daily responsibilities and challenges of life. When you add the calling and desire of believers to please and honor God, much strength is needed day by day. David confessed the Lord as his strength for living. "The LORD is the strength of my life." How wonderful to know that the Lord is with us to impart His strength in us for every aspect of our lives, whether home, or work, or ministry, or whatever.

O Lord, my strength, I need Your strength for daily responsibilities, strength for staying on track with You, strength for periodic battles, strength for weaknesses within, strength to please You. You are my strength; I trust in You!

    You're so right.

    Apart from God I am nothing, and at the same time, when I remain in His grace I can do all things that He has for me. David's life never ceases to encourage me.

Eternal Life in Christ

  Scripture: 1 John 5:12 (NIV) "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." In this concise yet profound verse, the Apostle John encapsulates the essence of the Christian faith. He presents a binary reality that revolves around a pivotal relationship—with or without the Son of God. Having the Son Means Having Life To "have the Son" is more than a mere acknowledgment of His existence; it is an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is transformative, for in Him, we discover the source and essence of life. It's not just about an earthly existence but an eternal life that transcends the temporal. Eternal life in Christ is not a distant promise; it is a present reality. It begins the moment we invite Jesus into our hearts, acknowledging Him as our Lord and Savior. This life is marked by a deep sense of purpose, joy, and an unshakable hope that extends beyond the confines of this world. Lifeles...
