Strength, Song and Salvation

Psalms 118:14 KJV
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.


The Psalm is a Messianic one and everything in it should be attested to the Lord first.
Our Lord found strength in His heavenly Father.
Through prayer and communion with Him Christ rose each day to do His Father's will. From the human side, imagine the pain our Saviour endured in reaching out to sinners and being rejected of His own. Only His fellowship with His Father could have sustained him.
His song
Just before going to the Mountain where He was betrayed Jesus led His disciples to sing a hymn. The motivation for His song was His relationship with God.
Then came His salvation
As God raised Him up from the grave.

So to as we find our strength and our song in the Lord, we then find our salvation. We tend to put salvation first. And the event of salvation does take place first. But the experience of salvation only comes after finding in Him strength to carry forth and song to worship Him before the salvation is become reality.
