Psalm 18 & 19
When is the last time you ran to God in complete celebration and praise? David is showing that incredible emotion here. These Psalms were written in light of him being delivered from the hands of his enemies, and the praise he offers up to God is powerful.
This Psalm offers so amazing attributes of who God is! Fortress, Rock, Rescuer, Perfect, Gentle, are only a few! What an amazing God we have, Who fits all of these so perfectly. David got to see first hand how wonderful our Creator is by being pulled out of the depths in mighty ways. This juxtaposition he writes about God's character and powers is simply incredible.
Lying face down in the pit and in constant worry for what is going to happen to you can really leave you unable to focus on God, but this is the precise moment you look up and realize He is all you have. His plan is perfect and it will pave a way for His glory to shine. These moments, while awful and just terrible, can bring so much power and faith to your life and heart. It is incredible how God uses the hardships to shine His Light in our lives and the lives around us that witness how He has worked.
Next time you are surrounded by hardship and sitting at the bottom, then rescued by this Almighty God we have, remember to give Him praise for Who He is and what He has done! This light you cast will be a powerful one for those around you to see the amazing work of God's hands in your life. You are a walking testimony and story for God's greatness! Have you told it and praised God for it?
