“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2 ESV)
Strength
God’s love, which can draw our trust like honey draws bears, can be observed in His strength.
When we love, we know we can not love enough. We do not have the power, ability, or strength to do all that our beloved needs. Whether our beloved is our spouse, our children, our parents, our siblings, our church, our friends, our community, our city, our nation, or our pet. We come up short.
But God does not love that way. He does not have our limitations. He does not have our mortality, limited resources, lack of knowledge, or selfishness. God’s love does not come up short.
God’s love is enough. In fact, God’s love is more than enough.
His love is behind our salvation, His love is behind His providence, His love is behind every one of His character traits. Justice, Graciousness, Merciful, Patience, Kindness, all are a result of His love.
That makes His love more than pleasant, more than exciting, more than nice, more than restful. His love is powerful, limitless, and strong.
