“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.” Psalm 28:7 (NLT ) Have you ever noticed that when we go through situations in life, our joy is under attack. Our text today reminds us that when we are weak, God will give us strength. When we are being persecuted, He will protect us. When we put all our trust in Him, He will help us and fill us with joy. God is our defender and protector. As we meditated on the scripture for the week, be encouraged and know that you are not in this alone. Your heavenly Father watches over you. He sees every circumstance that you are going through and is more than able to relieve and restore you. With Him you can continue to press on. Worship Him, there is power in your praise. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
