Verse of the Day The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. Habakkuk 3:19 Thoughts on Today's Verse... In a horribly turbulent, violent, and dangerous time for the children of God, the prophet Habakkuk confidently said, "The Lord is my strength!" Wow, what faith. Wow, what power we have in the Lord's abiding and empowering presence. Even in the worst of times, we are an enabled people. Unfortunately, we often forget the power available to us as disciples of Jesus. That's why I believe we need to pray Paul's prayer for fellow believers in our day, especially those brothers and sisters caught in a hard time. Yes, because of the power given to us, we can confidently say, "The Lord is my strength!" My Prayer... Sovereign God and Almighty Father, I pray today, asking that you not only be my strength, but be the strength of those I love who are battling depression, grief, and despair. I ask your blessings, especially and specifically for these people... (Speak the name of several you want to pray for by name, here!) O, dear Father, I pray that together, we may know the hope to which [you have called us], the riches of [your] glorious inheritance in [your] holy people, and [your] incomparably great power for us who believe. Amen!
