The Strength of the Lord


The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart. He helps me,
and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
Psalm 28:7 NLT


From my library window, I enjoy nature in action as the squirrels and birds entertain me. Today, I watched the blue scrub jays land on the neighbor's sixty-foot fir trees. They perched on the highest branch giving them a view more spectacular than from the ground. Their flight looked effortless, but the feat did not belong to the newly hatched. Birds need experience and strength in their wings to fly so high.
Do you have a 'tree' or 'mountain' to climb today? A challenge or task above your reach? Occasionally, we have opportunities from the Lord that appear beyond our strength or ability. When these times come, pray for the Lord to direct your steps and your days. He leads as we commit to following His will. 
 
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
Psalm 37:23 KNJV
