Psalm 18

The LORD is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

This is a rich Psalm, full of imagery to write about, to consider illustrating – more importantly, to understand as a way to view and recognize God, especially in times of danger, insecurity, or fear.

The Lord is my place of refuge.

He isn’t just“like” a rock,

“like” a fortress,

“like” a stronghold.

He is those things.

A firm immovable foundation of solid rock;

a deliverer when I am pursued;

a shield from the blast of sin and torment;

salvation – strong salvation when I am astray.

He is my stronghold. My secure, impenetrable place of rest and security.
