Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. My strength and victory. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Second Corinthians twelve nine.
Verse 2 of Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners highlights Jesus' strength. David wrote of encountering and benefiting from it when he hid safely in him. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion, in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, he shall set me upon a rock. Psalm twenty seven five. Jesus, what a strength and weakness.
Let me hide myself in Him. Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He my strength, my victory wins. In times of opposition, we can go to Him for comfort and protection. In Psalm 23.4 we are comforted to read, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. We can likewise pass this along to bolster others in need, for we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
When conflict comes, our friend for sinners provides a way out. God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Ultimately, victory is ours through His great strength and wisdom. In eternal glory, we are told that now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ. For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuse them before our God day and night.
For ever we will hide safely in Him. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us.
