He is the Saving Strength

Reading in Ps 28.8, "The Lord is their strength and he is the saving strength of his anointed" (KJV). I like the way the KJV translates this. The ESV is pretty good as well: The Lord is the strength of his people, he is the saving refuge of his anointed."

Saving refuge. Saving strength. Both describe God's power equally well. We have nothing to fear from the enemies of God because God, by his power, will prevail over them.

This is such an easy concept in theory, why do we struggle so much with it in practice? Most likely because we cannot see the spiritual realm very well. We are prone to rely too much on what we see, and not enough on God's promises.
