Text: Psalm 18:1-3 (Psalm shows Christ as our all sufficiency)!
How many of you know that God is everything and has everything we need? So whatever you want to put after “God is”, you’ll find that He is!
The Hebrew title for the Psalms is tehillah, meaning “praises”. David was constantly giving God “praises” for victory. When he was running from Saul, he was in constant danger of death. Here in Psalm 18 the Lord has delivered him from all of his enemies and from the hand of Saul. David said in Psalm 18:1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
(Vs 2) The LORD is my rock (safety and security in God’s immovable strength), and my fortress (a place of refuge and safety where the enemy cannot penetrate), and my deliverer (a living protector); my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler (a type of shield symbolizing that God comes between us and harm), and the horn of my salvation (strength and victorious power to deliver and save us), and my high tower (a high place among the rocks, safe from plunder and destruction).
(Vs 3) I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
We, like David, have ample reason to worship and praise God. Did He not save us and deliver us from the jaws of hell, death and the grave? He has given us victory, and we will worship and praise Him and give Him thanks for that! For God is our salvation! God is our strength! God is our protector! God is our battle axe! God is our everything! As we focus on God and who He is, we will know why God is the God we worship!
