"The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him."
(Exodus 15:2)
"Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak, but He is strong."
I remember singing those words when I was a child. Now as an older adult, those words are still true to me. Especially the line: "They are weak, but He is strong."
Moses knew that He and God's people would have to rely upon the strength of the Lord, as they dealt with the Egyptians, as they eventually entered into the Red sea, to escape captivity. It took complete faith in the Lord, to let Him lead them out of a long and miserable bondage.
When I look at my life with my weaknesses, and limitations; I am so grateful that I have an all powerful God, who loves me, and wants to take care of me. My God has a love that is so great, and His grace and forgiveness is so generous. He will forgive us of all our sins, and will work to restore us to spiritual health, if only we will let Him.
I believe that we as a nation, are very beaten down, because of the pandemic. How will we ever get back on our feet again? Well, our God knows our national state, and in His strength, we will stand strong again. He will lift us up again, if only we will reach out, and take His hand in ours! GP
