“The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2b
Are you hurting? Can’t feel a song within your heart? During a recent time of sadness and hurt feelings, God brought the verse above to my attention and reminded me that He is all I need. My joy, my reason to sing, does not depend on others. He is my song.
If you’re hurting today, I pray that you will turn to Him and let Him be your strength. I pray that you will let Him be your song.
“Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.” Psalm 24:7

Thanks Cheryl. I needed to hear this.
Debbie, my prayer was that this post would really minister to someone. So glad it was what you needed to hear tonight. And what a special blessing to know that it ministered to my own sister. Love you!
I always look forward to your posts. You are so inspiring, Cheryl!
hey there! So glad the Lord gave you a song right when you needed it!
Thank you so much, Kirsten. It makes me smile to think you look forward to my posts :)
And Donna, I don’t know what I would do without the Lord giving me a song each day. He is so good to us!
No better refrain has ever been sung…
Jesus. Simply and profoundly Jesus.
Beautiful reminder and photo, Cheryl.

Hi Cheryl,
What a beautiful photo and verse. So uplifting! Thank you! :-)
I love that scripture passage. We have it on my dad’s gravestone. Indeed an encouraging one!
