Dear children of God, do you know the amazing joy of finding Him in Psalm 18? We find joy in who He is and what it means to our lives.
How to find joy on our journey with Him? One of the ways I find joy on my daily journey with the Lord is by reading the scriptures.
Thus, I have been studying “Finding Him in the Psalms”. I aimed to discover more about His character and how He showed Himself in my life.
It is great to remember who God is and how He showed Himself to the authors of the Psalms. When we explore the Bible, we learn from Him and about Him. Sometimes, I go to the Bible only to “find answers” or some wisdom for my particular circumstances.
Life is hectic, and everything seems urgent. So, sometimes, it is good to tune out the urgent and listen to His voice.
So, we will find reminders of who He is, which will help us trust in Him and build a lasting relationship with Him.
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. Psalm 18:2
I found some of God’s most beautiful and encouraging characteristics that stand out in Psalm 18. And when we grasp these, they give amazing joy:
Who He is:
- My Strength. My Rock. My Fortress.
- My Buckler. The Horn of my salvation. My Hightower.
- He is my Lord. He is the Highest. His way is perfect.
- He is worthy of praise. He is my Lord.
What He does:
- He hears my voice. His ears hear my cry. He draws me out of many deep waters.
- He delivers me. He delights in me. He enlightens my darkness.
- He lights my candle. He saves the afflicted. He enables me to run through a troop and leap over a wall.
- He girds me with His strength. He makes my way perfect. His right hand hold me.
- So, as you think about Him, may you find the strength and courage to embrace what He is doing in your life. It will strengthen your faith in Him.
May your hearts be full of His love and grace as you experience the joy of finding Him in Psalm 18.
Blessings and love,
Mareli
