I CAN RUN THROUGH A TROOP...

In the early hours of the morning after being ill for the past two days and having woke up with some heavy things on my mind, I began to pray and ask the Lord for help.  He answered by putting this chorus in my heart...A chorus I had not even heard in years...

I can run through a troop and leap over a wall

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He's my sword and my shield, He gives power to all

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He's my rock and my salvation

There is now no condemnation

I can run through a troop and leap over a wall

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I thought, Lord I hardly feel like running through a troop or leaping over a wall with as sick as I have been. But you know what? After letting the words of that chorus run through my mind a few times I suddenly felt better. My mind was clear, I was able to rest and my faith in the Almighty was strengthened. 

It's such a simple chorus but with very powerful words.  Some of which were taken from Psalm 18 (A good read, in case you were looking for some words of encouragement). It's a reminder that as long as the Almighty is captain, we do have the strength and the power to stay our course and fight the good fight of faith. With Him we have the strength and stamina to ward off anything the enemy tries to throw at us.  Even illness!
  

So this morning I feel as if I can run through a troop and leap over a wall...HALLELUJAH!!!, and I say...Thank you Jesus!  You are so very good.  My trust and my faith is forever in you.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is GOOD:
for His Mercy endureth for ever.

                                     Psalm 107:1
