Blessed Be The Lord

Psalm144:1  Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight"" The lord is your strength" said by Mr victor to his first son as he goes to write exams. As Christians the phrase " The lord is your strength" is common in over conversations with one another. But do we actually know what that means? The Lord is Your strength means that the lord is your source of Hope, joy and grace. In you study psalm 144 where our anchor scripture is taken. You will find out in the latter part that david began to describe the goodness of God in his life and family. He ends the psalm by saying " Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea,happy is that people, whose God is the Lord." The lord being your strength means he is your source of power. Many people reading this now wish bill Gates was their father. They believe if he was their father most of their problems will be over. It's not about the man's personality but what he has. When you say the lord is my strength you mean what the lord has is mine and what I have is his. Most young men wish they are still in their parents house. Because their parents were their strength. And things were easy for them. Their parents cared for them, feed them and loved them. Psychologists discover that the happiest stage of a man's life is his childhood. Especially if he lived in a good home. Children have no worries when they cannot do things by themselves they simply call their mummy or daddy. But in adulthood you are on your own. So you depend on yourself. The lord is your strength means God got your back so you don't need to be afraid. Lastly Nehemiah8:10" ...for the joy of the Lord is your strength" when you say the lord you mean the lord is pleased with you. Ephesians 1:7 and 8: To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" but why is God pleased with you?
