He
brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
Psalm
18:19 (ESV)
Have
you ever had one of those days…?
One
of those weeks…
One
of those years??
It
just seems everywhere you look, there's a trial or a situation;
a
question that has no answer.
No
matter how hard you try, it appears you fail.
No
matter how much you search, you just can't find an answer.
And
no matter how much you try to silence the voices,
you
still hear the accusations.
Today,
this song resounds in my heart:
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You1
How I need
Him...He is:
My
victory in the trials
My
answer to the questions
My
strength in the effort
My
peace to rest in Him
My
patience waiting for the answers
My
defender against the accuser
My
courage in the place of fear
Psalm 18 begins,
“I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.”
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.”
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You1
