Strength in my soul....

The psalmist David declares in chapter 138 and verse 3 that in the day that I cried, thou answeredest me and strengthenedst me with "strength in my soul".  Our Father knows us better than we even know ourselves.  He will always give us lasting strength where it matters.  We oft times seek strength for the body and the mind but seldom consider the hidden man of the heart.  Our never-dying soul is our very being, its who we really are; the one that communes with God in the dark hours of the night.  The one that agonizes in pain when one we love is hurting.  The one that leaps for joy when we see evident signs of God moving in our midst.  Our bodies will one day return to the dust.  Our spirit will return to God who gave it, but our souls will live forever somewhere.  Our "soul" has either been quickened by the new birth or we are still dead in our sin.  We have no strenghth in ourselves..but God has all power in heaven and earth!  When we need strenghth in the soul, we can expect it for He has never failed in giving it...Bless His Name!
