Words of Encouragement ... Psalm 18:2

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock in whom I take refuge. He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 Sometimes life gets hard. Sometimes we don't know what to do or where to turn, but this scripture can be such an encouragement in times like these. We really can depend on the Lord. The Lord is a rock. He is strong and unwavering and unmoving. God's protection of his people has no limit and comes in many different forms. The items David used to describe God's protection were military symbols. God is like a rock that cant be moved, it provides a great hiding place and bunker during times of war. It can shield from attack and provide protection from a storm. A fortress - or a safe place that is guarded and an enemy can not follow. A shield, that comes personally between us and the enemy for protection. The shield is used when you are up close and personal with the enemy and right in the middle of the battle. The horn is a symbol of might and power. and a stronghold. If we need protection we need to look to the Lord and ask.
