Exodus 15:1-2 / English Standard Version - "I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him"
Have you ever watched the Olympics and marveled at the incredible strength, discipline and God-given talent of the athletes? Watching interviews, we commonly hear the question, "Where do you get the strength - the motivation?"
Daily life, while not an Olympic sport, requires its own motivation if we are to push through the blood, sweat and tears to the gold medal that awaits us. Moses, after the victorious escape from Pharaoh's army, praises the source of their strength in the Scripture above.
Are you facing an Olympic-sized trial? Are you wondering where your strength to endure will come from? Does it seem absolutely crazy that God can and will lift you up to overcome? Remember that he is your strength and your song; trust his power to be yours and praise him because he is worthy. He alone has the strength you need, and he supports you time and time again. Trust him, thank him, exalt him, and the gold medal will be yours!
