“In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.”
Psalm 138:3 (WEB)
Finding Courage in His Strength
In Psalm 138, the psalmist speaks directly to God, offering heartfelt thanks for His faithful love and truth. After recounting how God answered his prayer, the psalmist anticipates that even kings will praise Yahweh. The verse highlights a personal moment of divine response, where calling out to God results in encouragement and strength at a soul-deep level. Notice the order in which the psalmist speaks: calling, receiving an answer, and then finding strength. Today, consider a moment when you felt encouraged after seeking help. Reflect on how that experience strengthened your soul, and take a moment to express gratitude for it.
