Your Strength Is My Song

Scripture Reference: Exodus 15
God had just brought Israel out from the land of the Egyptian oppressors. With the miracle at the back of where they were standing, they praised God with song. The song lyrics anchored upon their experience of God's mighty hand. God's strength was their song.

3 days later, Israel grumbled at Moses because they had no water to drink. Compared to the intense hardship they endured for years, that thirst would have been but a mere hardship. 3 days was all it took for them to start complaining.

How easy it is for one to complain upon facing hardship. How easy it is for the hardship to blast with loudness that the strength of God becomes muted and cleanly forgotten.

May God's strength be our song in times of difficulty.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.”
Psalms 103:1-5 (NASB)
