God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.Habakkuk 3:19 (ESV)
I am sure many have seen some great escape scenes on the National Geographic. The hind limbs of a deer can ward off a predatory approach of a cheetah with a powerful kick. Those legs enable the deer to leap with grace and run at great speed. God has given the deer such strength to survive and overcome their vulnerability, so much so that the prophet Habakkuk prayed to have feet like the deer’s.
Lord, You are our strength. Give us strong feet, help us to run away from danger, help us to overcome difficulties, help us to stand against temptations. Thank You for giving us this strength so that we could transcend life’s struggles. In Jesus' name, Amen.
