day no. 14,491 continued... the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself

Psalm 80: 17-19
But let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
    the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
Then we shall not turn back from you;
    give us life, and we will call upon your name!
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
    Let your face shine, that we may be saved!

God has made men strong so that they would bring Him glory. In other words, men are made strong by God for God. We are blessed with strength in order to help carry the burdens of others. We are made strong in order to shoulder the weight of responsibility that comes with being the head of our households. We are made strong in order to endure difficulty for the glory of God. We are made strong by His strength. If we pursue strength, our veracity fails. If we pursue God, we have His hand upon us. His hand provides us with strength. He pumps godly blood and adrenaline through our veins providing life and energy to keep our face to the plow and our hope in Heaven. He shines His face upon men so that they may reflect His light.
