Shalom,

Today we read Psalm 18 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and I LOVE the superscription!

Psalm 18

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:

David prayed, God delivered, David gave praise, thanksgivng and worship for every good thing! THAT is a pattern for US to 'go thou and do likewise'! Verses 1-6:

1 I love You fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength.
2 The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The cords or bands of death surrounded me, and the streams of ungodliness and the torrents of ruin terrified me.
5 The cords of Sheol (the place of the dead) surrounded me; the snares of death confronted and came upon me.
6 In my distress [when seemingly closed in] I called upon the Lord and cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple (heavenly dwelling place), and my cry came before Him, into His [very] ears.

AMEN! Keep giving HIM all the GLORY for every good thing in YOUR life! Here is Brandon Lake with "More":

Shalom in Him
