Our Strength and Shield
The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him (Psalm 28:7).
As we enter the holiday season of the year and in our church year, we pause to reflect on God, our Strength and Shield. The Psalmist encourages us to trust in our mighty Lord, recognize His help in our lives, and give thanks to Him.
We can trust in the God who is trustworthy. Our Savior came to earth, lived a perfect life, suffered and died for our sins, and lives and reigns to all eternity. We are forgiven in Jesus! Our God helps us and keeps us in faith as the Spirit works in our lives through Word and Sacraments. By faith, we trust all the promises of God, knowing we will be with Him in the glories of heaven.
Our response? As our hearts exult in praise, we sing a song of thanks for all He has done in our lives and for those faithful who have gone before us. Read or listen to this Mustard Seed, Joyful, Joyful: Now Thank We All Our God, and give thanks!
