Just A Few Of My Thoughts …

“Lord, because of your strength the king is strong. Look how he rejoices in you! He bursts out with a joyful song because of your victory! For you have given him his heart’s desire, anything and everything he asks for. You haven’t withheld a thing from your betrothed one. Rich blessings overflow with every encounter with you, and you placed a royal crown of gold upon his head. He wanted resurrection-you have given it to him and more! The days of his blessing stretch on one after another, forever! You have honored him and made him famous. Glory garments are upon him, and you surround him with splendor and majesty. Your victory heaps blessing after blessing upon him. What joy and bliss he tastes, rejoicing before your face! For the king trusts endlessly in you, and he will never stumble, never fall. Your forever-love never fails and holds him firm.” Psalm 21:1-7 TPT

We are all blessed with gifts from our Heavenly Father, but how, when, and where we use or even acknowledge that we have them sometimes, remains to be seen? He is constantly blessing us with all we need in order to overcome within whatever circumstance we find ourselves in the midst of. It is only in and through God’s strength that we can find true satisfaction and can continue to grow.

In this passage, King David is affirming that it is only in and through God’s strength that he, as King can and will find true satisfaction within his office, and only within God’s salvation can he truly rejoice. He reminds us that all we have, our families, our careers, our wealth, all our blessings, are gifts from our God, who loves us unconditionally. Good leaders trust in the Lord, and not themselves in order to have a good foundation, therefore, he will never leave us, instead, his direction, our future, can be ours for the asking.

Heavenly Father, help us to remember that you are the source of our strength, and all that is required for us to survive, for which we are ever so thankful.

In Christ Love
