“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Psa
118:6
Henry Ford once noted: “Any man who thinks he can be happy
and prosperous by letting the American Government take care of him better take
a closer look at the American Indian.”
In the same light David expresses the opposite concerning
man, “what can man do unto me?”
What man “meant for
evil against me, God meant it for good…” (Gen 50:20)
This Psalm declares the power of God’s protection, provision
and providence against our enemies (vs 10-12).
Causing David to sing, “The
Lord is my Strength, Song and Salvation” (vs 14)
It was the Lord that strengthened him, helped him, and gave
him the victory.
The Lord is the author and giver of strength, natural and
spiritual; he is the "strength" of the hearts and lives of his
people, and of our salvation; and therefore, is our "song".
David had his heart full of the goodness of God. He loved to
think of it, loved to speak of it, and was very solicitous that God might have
the praise of it and others the comfort of it.
The more our hearts are impressed with God's goodness the
more they will be enlarged in all manner of humility, love and praise. Then others can come to sing to His strength
and salvation.
“Find your strength one day at a time. Today, after all, is
the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”
