Psalms 28:7 (ESV Strong's)
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
Subject: Worship and Praise to God
We often turn to so many different sources for our strength and our comfort. We have family that we run to in time of need. We have a spouse who is supposed to be there to comfort us; and often is. We have a job that gives us a sense of security. We have a bank account or a check coming in that gives us hope and sustainability. We have a cottage we retreat to for refreshment. We have a vacation we look forward to for a few days of sun, surf and selfishness. We have an object that we can shine, play with, or use as a pacifier for or life; or blanket of comfort. But, all these things pale to the God of the universe. When we have a personal relationship with God we have what we read in the above verse from David's life. We find in God our strength and a shield. Our strength and the strength of others will fail. But, God does not. We can both trust God completely (nothing else is that sure) and we can know that we are helped by God (nothing else can be counted on to be there for us). This should exult our hearts and should give us reason for praise and thankfulness. He is the One we run to and find our refreshment in and our strength to meet the troubles of the day.
