'For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is a storm against the wall' (Isaiah 25 4).
O Lord our God, be thou exalted above the heavens, and let your glory fills the earth! Lord you are worthy of all our praise and we acknowledge that there is none like you. God's people who are poor and needy in a physical and spiritual sense, look to Jesus for strength and refuge. Especially when they are afflicted; been persecuted by men and experience afflicted circumstances. The Lord God is there strength. He will direct his peole to Christ, in whom is strength and righteousness. He will strengthen our hearts with His love, when we are in these situations and allow us to experience His power. Christ will not be only our strength, but our refuge - in a place of safety. He will keep us safe from the storms of discord and despair that rage around us; the flood of persecution that seeks to devour us; the boisterous winds that seeks to uproot us. He is the shadow from the heat of fury and fiery darts of temptations and woes Satan unleashes upon His people. We should not fear these things because Christ is our strength, our refuge and shadow. He will protect us from the wrath of satan, whose intention is to crush and eradicate us from this earth. We need to trust that Christ is our strength, shield and protector; our refuge in times of trouble - He is refuge for us; and that we can find shelter in His shadow. As a protector, He will make us to stand as a wall firm and immovable against the wiles of the enemy; as we seek to put on the whole armour of God. The Lord is the strength of our life, and we will not be afraid. No matter how needy and distress we may be, God is able to support and deliver us. Let us rejoice in Him and not be discouraged, because His strength shall be perfected in our weaknesses
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
