Psalm 73:26 God Is My Strength
“My health fails; my spirits droop, yet God remains! He is the strength of my heart; he is mine forever” (TLB).
Have you ever been at the end of your rope? I have, and it’s not a good feeling. But Jesus Christ says, “If you’re at the end of your rope, just let go. I’ve got you. There is no end to my rope. In fact, I don’t have a rope. I use a net. That way wherever you fall from, I can catch you. Just call for me. I’m always there.” (I used quotation marks, but it’s actually a paraphrase.) I paraphrased it from the Bible. The specific reference is Genesis1:1—Revelation 22:21.) Just look. You’ll find it in there. The whole Bible is about God and His love for us. Jesus came to earth to personalize God’s love, care, and promises. “Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.” (Psalm 37:24 NLT)
Psalm 46:1-3 says, “God is our refuge and our strength an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging” (NIV). In today’s world, bad news is broadcast on every radio and television station numerous times each day. Flip through facebook and bad news shows up every page or so. My source of strength is my God. He is my source because he says He is, and I believe what He says. Look through your past and count the times that God has been your strength. He will be so again and again and again, if only we will ask and ask and ask. He doesn’t mind if we keep asking for His help. In fact, He loves helping us; He is pleased when we do ask.
The mountains in the picture give a real picture of strength. They are made of rock, and God is my rock that is stronger than any rock seen on earth because He created them all. Thank you, God, for being my strength at the end of my rope.
