Psalm 18:1-3 says,
I love you, O Lord, my strength,
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
These verses have been such an encouragement in the past few days as they remind us that God is our refuge and strength. Even when it feels like our world has been turned upside down, God’s presence in our lives remains the same. As James Bryan Smith said, “I am one in whom Christ dwells and delights. The kingdom of God is not in trouble, and neither am I.” This psalm prompts us to call upon the Lord, knowing he saves and delivers us.
Proverbs 18:10 adds,
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
As we trust in God’s love and strength, let this be a time in which we seek the Lord, knowing that he is our strong tower, a place of safety and deliverance.
because of God's character.
