When You Feel Weak, When The Burdens of Life Seem Too Much, You Don’t Have to Muster Strength on Your Own
đź“– Scripture:
“The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.” — Exodus 15:2
🙌🏻 Devotional:
This verse is part of the Song of Moses, sung after God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt and brought them safely through the Red Sea. It’s a declaration of who God is and what He has done.
- Strength — God is the source of endurance and power when we are weak.
- Song — He not only rescues us, but He gives us joy and a reason to celebrate.
- Salvation — God is not distant; He is personal, stepping into our lives to redeem us.
- Praise & Exaltation — The natural response to His salvation is worship, gratitude, and lifting His name high.
This verse reminds us that our hope is not in our own efforts, but in God’s power to save, strengthen, and fill us with joy.
âť“ Reflection Questions
- In what areas of my life do I need to stop relying on my own strength and lean on God’s
- How has God put a “song” in my heart in past seasons of deliverance or answered prayer?
- What baggage am I still carrying that I need to lay down at His feet so He can be my salvation?
- How can I intentionally exalt and praise God in my daily life this week?
🙏🏻 Prayer:
“Lord, thank You that You are my strength when I am weak, my song when I feel empty, and my salvation when I have no way out. I praise You today for being my God and for always making a way where there seems to be no way. Teach me to rely on You daily, to rejoice in You, and to exalt Your name above everything else in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
