God Will Strengthen You

Psalm 52:7-9

 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
         But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
         And strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
         I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
 I will praise You forever,
         Because You have done it;
         And in the presence of Your saints
         I will wait on Your name, for it is good.

Some people find strength in riches, wisdom or power, but we need to make sure that the Lord is our strength. There is nothing that can compare to the strength He provides. We will be fruitful like the olive tree if we put all our trust in Him.
