What an Amazing God!

SOAP #11 – What an amazing God!

Scripture:

”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..” Psalm 18:1-3 ESV

Observation:

These strong picture images of God describe His immense power and loving care. This God---a rock, a refuge, a fortress, a deliverer, a shield, a stronghold--is able to rescue and help at all times and in all situations. God is worthy of all praise and worship and thanksgiving.

Application:

My almighty God cares about every difficulty, challenge, and threat in my life. He is the one I can run to, the One I can depend upon, the One who guards and shields me in times of trouble, danger, or discouragement. My response, like David’s, is to call upon the Lord, praise Him and trust His saving power in my life.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, thank You for all the ways You bless my life with Your presence. I trust You to be my strength. I run to You. I lean on You and totally depend on You. Help me serve You each day without fear of the future. I rest in You. Hear my prayer and receive my thanksgiving for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
