The Lord is My Strength – Psalm 28:7
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”
Reflection: This verse beautifully connects trust with joy. Notice the progression: strength leads to trust, trust leads to help, and help leads to joy. When we recognize God as our strength and shield, it changes how we face daily challenges. We’re not fighting alone or defending ourselves by our own power. This psalm teaches us that true joy isn’t based on perfect circumstances, but on trusting God’s presence and protection in every situation.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for being my strength and shield today. When challenges come, help me remember You’re my protector. Fill my heart with trust and joy, leading me to praise You in all circumstances. Amen.
