Knowing God - The Lord Makes Strength Fail


Lam 1:14
…he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.


The Lord delivered His people into the hands of their enemies.  He made their strength to fall because that which they were seeking to find their strength in, could in fact, not hold them up.  He was letting their choices show themselves.  God is not mocked.  Whatever a person chooses to trust in, will show whether it is trustworthy.  God alone is to be our strength.  Our strength will always fall and it is much better if it falls under the Lord’s chastening than in a situation where the consequences might be even more devastating.  Make the Lord your strength today and when your own strength fails, turn to the Lord and say; “Lord, You are the strength of my life.”
