GOD - THE POWER THAT SAVES US

 2 Samuel 22:2-4 (Nlt)
He sang: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; 
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. 
He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. 
He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence. 
I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.

Today is a good day to read that passage and really let it sink in until it becomes real to us because it is who God is to us in every situation of our lives if we call Him our God.

It’s the song of David’s heart after he’d experience many tragedies and traumas. He’d gone through the loss of having two of his sons murdered, one of his babies died shortly after birth, He’d been betrayed and hunted down for years. He’d fought so many battles but was still standing, believing and trusting in His mighty God who’d never abandoned him even when he sinned big time. God was always there for him in the middle of it all. God was the power that saved him.

David says God is his place of safety. We can say the same, Jesus is our place of safety not just for our now, but for our eternity, which is so much more important. The years we have here are very few compared to where we will spend our ‘forever’ with Him, if we’ve asked Jesus into our hearts.  

If you’re not sure if you’d go to heaven ask Jesus to come into your life today and make Him your Lord and Saviour  and know for sure He’ll bring you safely there. 

Whoever we are, it would bless us to read those verses again and make them personal. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my Saviour in whom I find protection. Go right through to the end of the passage and let the Lord minister to you and let His peace enfold you once again.

Let’s praise our wonderful Saviour today because as King David said ‘God is worthy of our praise’ and He loves us.😊
