Psalm 18:2-3. “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: so shall I be saved from my enemies.” SO SHALL I BE SAVED. MY ROCK Not able to be moved by those who oppose me. No one dares come near to the place of shelter and security provided by such an immovable force.
MY FORTRESS No enemy can enter this place of total surrounding safety. On every side, the Lord has provided for and maintained a wall of protection.
MY DELIVERER No stronger rescuer could ever be found. When surrounded and in danger of defeat or annihilation, the Deliverer comes with banners, and the foe flees.
MY GOD This is not a god of superstition of man’s device. This is my God: personal, always present, always near, always ready to hear and answer. My God is the Almighty God.
MY STRENGTH I do not trust in other men, nor do I trust in my feeble self. That would be vain and useless. But to have the confidence that the Lord is my strength is assurance that all is well.
MY BUCKLER A shield that comes between me and harm has to be able to quench fiery darts, arrows of doubt, swords wielded by strong enemies, and spears thrown with great force. The Lord is my strong Shield.
THE HORN He has all authority and all might and all power. The Horn leaves no doubt as to who is in control and who will win the victory of my salvation.
MY HIGH TOWER Far above the enemies that would try to defeat and bring me down is the High Tower of Defense, continually looking out for my well-being.
“Almighty God, in this place of safety surrounded by every provision Thou hast made possible for me, I feel secure and very content. The battle is still on, and the enemies still do not hesitate to oppose, but I know within is He who is greater than he that is in the world. I know that the unceasing work of the Lord Jesus continues on my behalf. I know that Thou, my Father, has committed Thyself to care for me as one of Thy family. I rest in Thee, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
