I was driving my kids to school this morning, feeling a little down. I am now on crutches again until my surgery and every now and then I get into my little pity party.
There was a song that came on the radio the joy of the Lord is my strength. I have not heard this song in a long time.
The lyrics are The Joy of the Lord is my strength. He will uphold me all of my days. I am surrounded by mercy and love.
The joy of the Lord is my strength.
In Psalm 28:7 is says,
“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.”
God reminded me that in my pain He is my strength and my shield and I get my joy from Him. Even though I am struggling with pain, my strength comes from the Lord. He is my all in all. He is the Lord of all. All of our hopes and dreams. All of our pain and sorrow. Just know that you can trust in the Lord and He will take care of all your needs.
