He Is My Refuge.预览

He Is My Strength 

According to Strong’s Concordance the Hebrew word for “Strength” is, ‘oz’ (H5797) which means, “Might”. Who or what are you worshipping? What has exalted itself on the throne of your heart above God? Who have you worshiped and put in place of God? Who stands as mighty in your life? What are you exalting in your life? 

When you begin to exalt people, things and the cares of the world higher than God, these “things” and people begin to serve as idols — or God substitutes. Who is your “God substitute”? Who or what has  a grip on your heart? Who are you worshipping more than God? What are you exalting? What are you excessively worrying about? Maybe it’s your image. Maybe it’s your reputation. Maybe you’re worshipping your spouse. Maybe you’re exalting a vision, business or ministry. Whoever or whatever you’re placing on the throne of your heart has no place there. Worship God. Don’t let your worries block your worship. 

Know that God is your Strength. He is your Comforter. God is your Strong Foundation. He will lead you and guide you through every season of life. There’s nothing wrong with having mentors, wise counselors and people you look up to. However, when you begin to worship people or things they begin to become gods. There is a difference between receiving advice from wise counsel versus worshipping man’s opinion. Seek God and pursue His Counsel — He will lead you in the right direction. 

People, platforms and promises have their proper place, but they are not God. They cannot satisfy you like God can. No one or no thing is to block or stand in the way of your worship to God. Let God be your fortress. Let God be your Strength in every area of your life. 

Surrender to God and let Him be your Strength within the walls of your marriage, in your business, in your ministry and in your family. Let God reign in every area of your life. Let His Word serve as your strong foundation in every life choice. He is your Strength and your guide. Choose not to serve any other idol.
