My Deliverer

 

 

 

 

David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said; The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised and I am saved from my enemies.

 

For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of perdition assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me, the snares of death confronted me.

 

In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears.

 

Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry.

 

2 Samuel 22:1-8

 

David learned while hiding from Saul that true security only comes in God.

 

What has the LORD been for you in throughout your life? Your peace in chaos?  Your comforter in your time of need? Your forgiver of bad choices you made? Your strength for a difficult task?

 

Take out a piece of paper and write down your list of thanks. Then take time to praise God for all He is and all He has done.

 

 

Praise is the overflow of a joyful heart.
