SURVIVOR
I’m alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of my sin
God, Your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I’m a survivor
You’re my God
You’re my fighter
You make me a survivor
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. – Psalm 46:1
But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. – Psalm 22:19
The Lord is my strength and my shield… – Psalm 28:7
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense… – Isaiah 12:2
There is verse after verse in the bible about God being our strength and when something is repeated in the bible, it means we need to to pay attention to it because God wanted it to stick with us.
God wanted to repeat a reminder to us about something we tend to struggle with a lot through our lives. We struggle with feeling like we need to have the strength on our own to deal with the hardships that life throws at us but God wants us to remember that we need His strength. We need His strength because we are not meant to go it alone. He breathed into us to create us so it would make sense that we continue to need His strength to live the full life that He intended us to live.
When we rely on God’s strength, we are able to withstand more—we’re able to be survivors.
When we build our foundation of strength on ourselves, it’s incomplete because we were meant to live with God’s strength. It won’t hold up on its own. In Matthew, Jesus talks about a house that was built on a rock and it didn’t get destroyed when the wind blew and the floods came. That rock is God’s strength in us. When we build our foundation on God’s strength, we are able to survive. You don’t need to shoulder life’s wind and floods alone! You’re a survivor!
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being the rock of strength that I need in my life. Thank You that I don’t have to go it alone and that You’ve provided a way for me to be a survivor. Amen.

It is my belief that the things we go through are used by God for something greater. I wrote these devotionals around songs that came out of the darkest period of my life. My prayer is that God uses these devotionals and these songs to provide hope and direct you back to where truth resides—in His word. Thank you for participating in the Chain Breaker Devotional! -Zach Williams
