The LORD is My Rock - Psalm 18 (part 3 of 3)

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Genesis 44:1-45:28 ~ Matthew 14:13-36 ~ Psalm 18:37-50 ~ Proverbs 4:11-13

The final verses of Psalm 18 remind us of the great strength and faithfulness of our God. The worshiper proclaims the works and actions of God - how He works on behalf of His children and brings about His love and justice.

46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!

47 He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,

48 who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from violent men you rescued me.

49 Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD;
I will sing praises to your name.

Psalm 18:46-49 (NIV)

Can you confess verse 46 to the LORD, to the world, and to yourself? Do you really believe the LORD lives? Is He really your Rock? It is one thing to read these words; it is another thing entirely to believe them.

Today, as an act of worship, proclaim the nature of God and characteristics of God as you experience Him in your life. If He is your helper today, then proclaim Him as Helper. If He is your refuge today, then proclaim Him as Mighty Fortress. If He is your friend today, then proclaim Him as Faithful. Identify the work of God in your life, and worship Him for who He is and what He has done.
