Friday Featuresmy God My Strength

David wrote this Psalm (song) in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of his enemies,and from the hand of Saul. This is some of what he said: Psalm 18 : 1-3"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."I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised" (v. 1-3)"First of all, He is my Rock. My Solid Foundation! One of the first song I was taught as a child was "THE FOOLISH MAN BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON THE SAND." We "know what happened! The rains came and because the house did not have a solid foundation the house came tumbling down. But, "THE WISE MAN BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK. This house had a solid foundation and the storms and rains came but it stood fast. SO BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE BLESSINGS WILL COME DOWN. THE BLESSINGS COME DOWN AS THE PRAYERS GO UP - SO BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE LORD"I am so glad HE is my Rock. When the storms of life come we can stand firm. One of my favorite songs is: HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word. What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who have refuge to Jesus have fled. Fear not I am with thee, Oh be not dismayed, For I am thy God I will still give you aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and caused thee to stand,Upheld by My gracious, Omnipotent Hand. When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow. For I will be with thee thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. E'en down to old age all My people shall prove, My Sov'reign, Eternal, Unchangeable Love. And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs shall they still in My bosom be borne. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for reposeI will not, I will not, desert to the foes. That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,I'll never, no never, no never forsake. "HE IS MY FORTRESS AND DELIVERER"." We can hide behind Him and know that He will deliver. MY GOD, IN WHOM I WILL TRUST." We might think we have earthly friends that we can put our trust, but most of the time we find that they fail us. But not My God. He never fails. He will not desert us to the foe. He always has His eye on us in the midst of the storm. " I GLAD I KNOW ONE WHO NOT ONLY GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US, BUT HE ROSE UP FROM THE GRAVE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. "HE IS MY BUCKLER, THE HORN OF MY SALVATION AND MY HIGH TOWER." Having Him to protect is all we need. The next verse is really the one we need to take note of."I WILL CALL UPON THE LORD, WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED. "He is worthy of all our praise! Take time today and praise Him for "Who He is", for "What He is" and for "what He has done". He deserves our praises! Vs.30 says: "AS FOR MY GOD, HIS WAY IS PERFECT, THE WORD OF THE LORD IS TRIED, HE IS A BUCKLER FOR THOSE THAT TRUST IN HIM. "
