When I’m confronted with my own sin and iniquity, I’m reminded of who my greatest enemy really is; it’s me! I’m the one who stands in my own way of God’s blessings. Satan knows my weaknesses and will use them to deceive me and trip me up, but I’m the one who chooses to go that way.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but it ends in death (Proverbs 14:12)

The enemy’s forces are no match for the “power of God unto salvation.” That power is the gospel; the good news of a risen Savior. We have no need to be ashamed of the gospel which is God’s saving power within each believer. Repent and believe, that’s what is asked of every person. (Romans 1:16)

The power of God is a strong tower. The righteous (those who have been made right with God through the cross, as they have received Christ and have believed in His name).:

His name is so magnificent and powerful it cannot be described by the Psalmist in just one word. In Psalm 18:1-3 (and other places in the Bible) David uses several words to fortify and accentuate what he is trying to convey. The power of God to save those who call upon His name transcends our understanding and comprehension.

David has entered a deep place of worship and prayer. God is speaking to him in his heart, at the core of his heart, the secret place where the Most High God truly desires to be known. This is the place where we run to God

He’s not just in the heavens, but can and will be in your heart if you open it up to Him.

Let Him be your strong tower, your fortress, your rock, your strength, your refuge and deliver, your Comfortor. In times of great temptations, trials, distress, the storms of life. He will be the place you can run to for safety and protection.

When God speaks into your life, you need not say a word. He goes before you and prepares your way. The opposing forces will get it and flee!

Trust Him.

Lean on Him
