Be Secure










































Joyce Meyer, Daily Devotional

February 4




I LOVE You fervently and
devotedly, O Lord,my
Strength. The Lord is my Rock,my Fortress, and
my Deliverer;my God,my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and
take refuge,my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation,my High Tower.
— Psalm
18:1-2

God can strengthen us to the point that we can
make progress even during trouble. The psalmist said of God,
“He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly or make
progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble] . . . You have
girded me with strength for the battle” (Psalm 18:33, 39 emphasis
mine).

Trials and testing do not come to cause us to lose
stability. They are opportunities to prove the strength of God.We don’t
have to waver in our confidence. Nothing will keep us from
making progress today because God is our strength.
