- Strength, Song, Salvation
Psalm 118:14
The Lord is my strength and song,
And is become my salvation.
The Lord is my strength and song. The very nature and character of God is to be strong and joyful; the strength and joy of the Lord is also shared with us. God shares His life with us; strength and joy is a part of life. God’s strength is my strength; His joy is my joy. God is not only for me; He is me. He is for me everything I need; when I need strength He is there; when I need a lift He is there. There can be no stronger strength and no greater joy.
And the Lord is become my salvation. Salvation is not a characteristic, but it is an activity. When I need salvation He gives it to me. He saves; He saves from every trouble; He saves us from the messes we get ourselves into; He saves from sin and its consequent problems. He becomes my salvation for the minute when it is needed, and He will always be there.
