Not on my Own Strength
I tingle all over every time I tell this story so I'll share it:
Three days after Michael died, we attended a candlelight vigil for him at the high school. Several of us shared thoughts about what Michael meant to us. Afterward, Michael's drama teacher came up to me and told me how strong I was. I knew that I was not running on my own strength that week, and that I needed to give God the credit. As I was thinking through what I would be saying at his upcoming memorial service one morning, the distinct thought "Psalm 91" popped into my head. I read it and it says "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." After reading this I was thinking, "Yes, that speaks of God giving me strength, but maybe I can find some scriptures that say it more directly. Maybe, "The Lord is my Strength and my Song," or some others that I found. When we got together at church the next day to discuss what we would do at Michael's service, I read the verses I had looked up on my own, without much response from the others. Then, as I started reading Psalm 91 aloud, we all shared a very powerful moment. We all felt that the Holy Spirit was distinctly confirming the verse He had given us! I believe with all my heart, soul, and strength that God did indeed carry me through that week, and continues to do so when needed.
