“The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.” -Psalm 28:7 (NASB)
Why do we need a shield? Where do we find strength when we find ourselves fearful, anxious, distraught or any other burdensome condition of life? Our promise today gives us the answer. The Lord our God is our strength, and that is a promise mentioned many times in the Bible. God is not just a source of strength but actually His strength becomes our strength in Him. His strength is our shield against fear, anxiety, depression, and any trial we face. This is why we trust in Him because trusting manifests the help God gives us. This verse is such a blessing today and any day we need it. Our response is as the psalmist David declares and we, out of thankful hearts, exult and leap for joy. We respond each day by offering up our offering of thanks to God and give to Him the Glory He deserves. Such an offering becomes a song in our hearts and minds. Sing it today, the song of thanksgiving, whatever brings it to your heart.
