Who is your Source of strength?

Heard: “Ezekiel Chapter 29. You know what this means? Don’t go over the bridge to the left or to the right but stay on the bridge.”

Ezekiel Chapter 29. The Lord is the one speaking in this prophetic passage and as I read it in light of the above, verse 16 of this Chapter spoke strongly to me: “16 Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help.Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’” (NIV)

Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people….then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.

If we think of the bridge as the cross – stay the way of the cross.  If we stay the way of the cross, looking to Jesus, walking in Him, then we will not look to others for our source of confidence or for our strength but will look to God alone, the Sovereign I AM.

Who is your source of strength? To whom or to what are you relying on for your confidence? If it is anything less than the Lord, then my friend, you are leaning on the wrong source.

Psalm 20 – the entire chapter is a great war cry for who the source of our strength truly is.

Isaiah 31:1
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD! (NASB)
