Lord, how I love you! For you have done such tremendous things for me.
The Lord is my fort where I can enter and be safe; no one can follow me
in and slay me. He is a rugged mountain where I hide; he is my Savior, a rock
where none can reach me, and a tower of safety. He is my shield. He is like the
strong horn of a mighty fighting bull. (Ps. 18:1-2 LB)
Have you been battling?
Trying and trying and trying… Are you exhausted? Temptations still hounding
you? The Lord is the place to rest and be safe while you take time to recover
from your efforts. Yes, He watches over you. Yes, He guards and protects His
own. And He can be quite aggressive about protecting His own. I’ve heard it
said He would move heaven and earth for you. Now, isn’t that something?
I like reading different
translations of the Bible. This Living Bible version really struck a cord with
me this morning. Phrases that caught my
eye: where I can enter… no one can follow me in… he is my Savior… a tower
of safety… When I’m feeling beat, it’s wonderful to know Someone’s got my back
so I can rest and regroup and rethink. There is a peace and a confidence that
comes from that, even though circumstances may not have changed yet. It’s not
over. He is my Shield and also my Guide. He is my Protector, seeing me through.
Thanks be to God!
