The Lord is Our Strength

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 1st of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Psalms 18:32: ”It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.” Then we go to a very well-known scripture, 2 Corinthians 12:10: ”Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”  I want to say to you today, if you are feeling weak, maybe you are feeling I just can’t go on anymore, lock into God. It’s a good place to be. Sometimes it’s a dangerous place when you think you’ve got it all together, you’ve got it all tied up. That’s when the fall normally comes, but I tell you what, when you are on your knees and you are weak, you can’t fall any further. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to speak at a big open-air meeting, where there are multitudes of people. I go up the steps onto that platform, and I’m being honest with you, I feel absolutely weak and powerless, and that’s when I cry out to God. ”Lord, please, please, help me.” And you know something? Every single time, He helps me and He’ll do it for you too.It doesn’t matter what you’re going through at the moment. Remember, when you are weak, then He is strong. That’s why Paul can say, ”I rejoice in my tribulation. Tribulation worketh patience, patience character and character hope.” (Romans 5:3-4)I want to say to you that humble people are normally people who have been through fiery trials. I get fearful sometimes with some young people who are out there, and they can do it all and they name it and they claim it. It’s almost like they’re getting ready for a fall. So folks, I want you to understand one thing. The Lord is our strength, and He is the One Who will see you and me through if we put our total trust in Him.May God bless you, especially when you’re feeling weak, because that is when you will be strong,Goodbye.
