Psalm 18 -- Praising God For All He's Done For Me

This may sound strange, but I couldn’t bear to read my commentary this morning, thinking that it might get into such depth that I’d be drawn away from the awesomeness of God that I read in David’s words this morning.  They so describe how God has worked in my life.  Here is just a sampling:

“I love You, Lord.  You are my strength … my rock, my protection, my Savior … my shield and my saving strength, my defender … In my trouble I called to the Lord.  I cried out to my God for help.  From His temple He heard my voice; my call for help reached His ears … He tore open the sky and came down … The Lord reached down from above and took me… He saved me … Because He delights in me, He saved me … My God brightens the darkness around me … God is my protection … You have stooped to make me great.  You give me a better way to live, so I live as You want me to … The Lord lives!  May my Rock be praised … So I will praise You, Lord, among the nations.  I will sing praises to Your name.”

Father, thank You for doing all of this and more for me.  Do it for those I love, too, Father.  I feel You working in both of their lives right now.  Draw them to You.  Cause them to recall what You have already done for them, and help them to want You in control of their lives.  I praise You, my God and my Rock!

Your Brother In Christ,
