The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
Habakkuk 3:19
Understand today that no matter how hard you try, there is nothing on this earth which you will be able to accomplish without the help and strength of the Lord… It is the Lord who has all power and ability to do anything but fail, we being His very creation have to rely on His strength and stop trying to handle situations on our own… This is the focus of today’s devotional; there are so many people in this world who are losing out on the divine will of God because they are busy trying to pave their own way… In Christ, the way is already paved and this is why Habakkuk goes on to say he makes my feet like the feet of a deer… If you ever take time to examine a deer you will soon come to the conclusion that everything which they do is made possible by their hooves or feet… Whether galloping across an open field at 30-35 mph, jumping an 8-foot fence in stride or clearing a 7-foot fence from a standstill, deer are impressive athletes. A steep embankment onto a road is just an opportunity to cross the highway in a single bound. Though there's no way to know where the best footing is, they seldom slip or fall under normal conditions. This principles applies to our lives in Christ as well… In Him we are able to do the unthinkable, we can overcome the most daunting of challenges, we can hurdle the biggest of obstacles placed in our way and even though we may stumble from time to time, in Christ we will never fall or will be utterly cast down… This is the good news with which we approach life and its many twist and turns… We can tread on the heights, we can and will overcome, we can and will be delivered, we can and will be victorious no matter what the outlook appears to be or the situation claims to be… Today, declare that the Sovereign Lord is my strength… Serve notice to the enemy that He will not win today and that you will rise above the miry and clay which has tried to entrap you… Even though Satan is trying to destroy the vision and dreams that God has for you it is good to know today that He (God) enables… He will give you the power, He will give you the strength and He will give you the endurance… God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory… You will win, you will come out and you will walk in victory… This will not happen because of your strength but because of your life being firmly placed in the hand of God who has all things under His control in the palm of His mighty hand…
ALL FOR HIM!
