verseoftheday

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. Psalm 18:16-18 NIV The enemy. Not sure what or who your enemy is today, but David's was big. Powerful. Foes Too strong for me Confronting Bringing disaster No wonder he felt overwhelmed. Too strong for me. That's quite an admission, one that I don't like to make. Surely I'm awesome enough, powerful enough, can do anything if I just focus or meditate or will it to be, imagine it, and defeat anything... David here says "I can't do this on my own, my enemy is too much for me" "But the Lord was my support" He found the answer was who was with him. Yahweh. The creator. The one who reaches down David says lean into Him, walk with Him in the valley. #heismyrescuer #heismysupport #with #thewayoutisth...

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.  He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. Psalm 18:16-19 NIV This is David's song, his heart expression, his poem to God, and it tells us some things about God... "He reached down." Our God reaches down for us. He's not alloof and distant but reaches down. "He took hold of me" He's personal, holds us, hangs on when we can't "He drew me out of deep waters." David must've felt like he was in over his head, no longer able to swim, at the end of his resources, and saw God at work in his life. Maybe today this is you, or someone you know, or maybe this is a piece of poetry to tuck away for another day...you can pray your story or someone else's into this Psalm, this song Our God reaches down,  he's personal, & He rescues. #dearlyloved #childofGod #heismyrescuer
