Renewed Strength

 
 
 

“You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.” (Psalms‬ ‭110:3‬b ‭NLT‬‬)

It seems here, that the Lord is speaking to David, through David. In this psalm, God encourages David to continue to grow in divine intimacy. He ensures David that He can be trusted for victories. He speaks vision of an ever-expanding Kingdom. He commits to protect and proliferate His faithful servant.

Then He reminds David of the robes of righteousness he wears by faith. God, in His mercy, sacrificed animals in the Garden to temporarily cover man’s transgression and then again on the cross to cover sin forever. David wears such a garment. As do we. Lastly, He reinforces His servant; “your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.”

Today, I find this incredibly encouraging. I only managed a few hours of fitful sleep before I crawled into my van in the dark and drove a hundred miles or more to sit again the same hospital room and wait for new information. Renewed strength is what I need most this morning. Perhaps you feel the same?

“The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.” (Psalms‬ ‭28:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

Lord, thank You for meeting us in the morning. You renew us with promises and power. May our gratitude cause our hearts to sing forever. Amen.
