| Dear Young Christian: |
| What a wonderful thing it is to be able to claim the Lord as our own! Here are eight precious statements affirming that we are His and He is ours: |
| 1.“The Lord is my strength and song”(Exodus 15:2). |
| 2.“The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress” (2 Samuel 22:2). |
| 3.“The Lord is my Shepherd”(Psalm 23:1). |
| 4.“The Lord is my light and my salvation”(Psalm 27:1). |
| 5.“The Lord is my strength and my shield” (Psalm 28:7). |
| 6.“The Lord is my defence” (Psalm 94:22). |
| 7.“The Lord is my portion” (Lamentations 3:24). |
| 8.“The Lord is my helper” (Hebrews 13:6). |
| What a marvelous resource we have in the Lord. Whatever you face this week, don’t forget that you can always say, “The Lord is mine. I can trust Him and rely on Him fully. |
