“Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” — Psalm 105:4-11, NIV
So, when we are failing, weak, scared or desperate, we should not turn to our own power. Rather, we should look to the Lord. Our inadequacy is not all consuming when we rely on his strength. Rather we can find strength, hope, perseverance and so much more that is rooted in Jesus Christ.
In Psalm 18:2, David calls God “my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” This is a wonderful image of choosing to rely on God and praising him. He is our fortress and deliverer, our rock and refuge, our salvation and stronghold. It is him who gives us strength.
