“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. My God, my strength, in whom I will trust. My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold”. Notice how personal David is when writing about his God. I wonder if we could write with as many “Mys”.
My Rock - David believed he was standing on firm ground because of his faith in God. He had no fear of sinking but stood solid on the One who is like a rock. Is God your rock?”
My Fortress - What comes to mind when you hear/read the word “fortress”? Security, well defended, fortified. Faithful Christians are safe in Christ and His church. Are you?
My Deliverer - Sometimes we get ourselves into situations from which we need to be rescued. I’m so thankful that God has delivered us from the bondage of sin. And you can thank the blood of Jesus. Are you covered by the blood?
My Strength - The Bible is clear that man is weak and often stands in need of help. The beautiful old song “Jesus Loves Me” says “I am weak but Thou art strong”. So true. Proverbs 3:5 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”. Are you leaning on the everlasting arms?
My Shield - Ancient soldiers had a shield to ward off the enemies’ arrows and swords. They wore armor, but it didn’t cover some parts. Eph.6 talks about the Christian’s spiritual armor that God supplies for us. Of course, it must be worn. Do you have yours on?
My Horn - The horn was an instrument used in different ways. It warned of impending danger, it called the people to assemblies and it was a sound to advance. Sin is a real danger; we need each other’s closeness (assembly); we must advance in our faith. Is God your horn?
My Stronghold - Ephesians 6:10 says “Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might”. Too many people try to go through life depending on their own strength. Such is a sure sign of failure. Where is your strength?
