The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one (Jesus).
I love the words that David wrote in this psalm. He’d been
through so many trials, temptations and tribulations, yet he looked to God. He’d
tried doing things his own way and failed. But he knew where to turn. He fell
before the Lord with praise because his strength came from Him. He trusted completely
and understood that God shielded him from danger.
God hasn’t changed. He remains the strength of his people. Gathering
with folks each week for worship reminds me that God is my fortress of
salvation. We sing, pray, listen to the
wisdom of the Bible, share in communion and dwell in His presence. There are
times that my soul is so stirred that my heart leaps for joy, just like the
psalm says. What a glorious reminder of His love.
