“I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”
Psalm 18:1-2
These words have meant so much to me and I believe they always will. When the Lord saved me at the age of thirty-six not only was God doing a mighty work inside of me, but also all through my life. Many friends scattered and for a long season it really was just me and my Lord. I had a small lawn care business and after one particular job I would get my Bible out of my truck and read this passage out loud. It was a house that was a rental that was owned by some dear friends of mine and at that particular time it was vacant. Often as I would read this passage, the wind would blow across an open field that surrounded three sides of the property and I would just take in the beauty of God’s wonderful creation. These words strengthened me as I would speak them out loud as a reminder to myself, as well as a prayer to the Lord. First and foremost, I want God’s word to reveal to you who He says He is. The basis of our faith is the truth of God’s word. We must get into it and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us our place and position in Christ Jesus. Too many are ignorant of what the Bible teaches on the relationship between the Lord and His children thus they live below their means spiritually speaking.
Please consider these thoughts:
I. I am strengthened for the Lord is my strength.
2. I stand firm on solid ground because the Lord is my rock.
3. I am safe for the Lord God almighty is my fortress.
4. I have deliverance for the Lord God is my deliverer.
5. My God is my rock and so my life is not built on sinking sand.
6. I am protected for the Lord is my buckler.
7. The strength and origin of my salvation is my God.
8. My strength is in the stronghold in which my Lord provides for me.
9. O the high tower that is the almighty God of the universe. My God in whom I will trust.
