In God's Strength

In God's Strength

Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power. Psalm 21:13 (AMP)

Have you ever felt like singing about the Lord? Perhaps you read a verse or heard someone share something about God and it sets off a song in your heart of hearts. Did you sing or did you allow your flesh to talk you out of it? This is an important question for you to ask yourself today.

Way too often we let tradition or what we think is "common sense" rob us of the many benefits of the supernatural power of God. Our verse today gives us a glimps of what lies in store for those who are willing to release the song of the Lord.

Today's verse is a study in what one can expect when they allow their spirit to lead their soul in singing out to the Lord:

Be high and lifted up, ruwm, Self-Existant LORD, YHWH, in Your own security, majesty & strength, 'oz: so will we stroll along through life singing, shiyr. of Your victory, power & strength, gebuwrah, and celebrate with song & music, zamar, which is, gebuwrah, Your valor, victory, might, strength & power. So will we stroll along through life singing . . . and celebrate [the release of] the valor, victory, might, strength and power of Almighty God Himself.

You see, when God is allowed his proper place in our thinking [in the focus of our lives] - his valor, power, security, majesty, strength & victory become ours and life can be a joyful melodic stroll!

This is what happens when we arise in the faith of Hebrews 11:1 because it is a "now" of faith and not a circumstance or situation of the flesh.

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 (AMP)

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Psalm 59:16

Psa 59:16-Amp But I WILL SING [shiyr] of Your mighty strength and power; yes, I WILL SING ALOUD [ranan - SHOUT ALOUD FOR JOY, GREATLY REJOICE & SHOUT IN TRIUMPH] of Your mercy [checed - beauty] and loving-kindness in the morning; for You have been to [hayah - exist or become for] me a defense - a fortress and a high tower, misgab manowc - an inaccessible retreat and place of escape - and a refuge in the day of my distress, tsar - adversary crowding & troubling me.

He who said, "i will never leave nor forsake you" - he who is the same "yesterday, today & forever" - exists in the "now" and is become a defense "an inaccessible high place of rest & escape" whenever your "adversary crowds and troubles you!"
