Today’s scripture: Psalm 18:4-19
Last week, we talked about how King David faced enemies of all kinds. Today’s verses describe vividly how the Lord helped David vanquish his enemies and delivered him.
I’ve never faced anything quite so terrifying nor have I seen God’s power as the psalmist describes. But I have faced my own enemies, some of them within my own heart. I’ve cried out for deliverance from pain. I’ve pleaded for help to forgive. I’ve battled my own sins.
And every time—every time—God was my “support.” He brought me through very dark places. He lifted me when I couldn’t walk. He gave me grace—and helped me to show grace to others.
And I believe, as David did, that He delivered me then—and will deliver me in the future—because He delights in me. He loves me as His precious daughter.
So I don’t need to fear or fret. My loving Abba will always take care of me.
