THE LORD IS MY….

Psalm 18:2 NLT 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.

Have you ever watched two kids playing with a toy and one of them grabs it and says, “No! It’s mine!” Sometimes I think we need to take the same strong ownership of who the Lord is to us.

Not in the sense that we don’t want to share Him with anyone else but that we have such an awareness that He is our personal Saviour, that nothing can take Him away from us, or separate us from His love, and that we belong to Him.

All through scripture we read: The Lord is my Shepherd, the Lord is my Healer, the Lord is my Comforter, the Lord is my…… you can fill in the blanks with who the Lord is to you at this moment in time, or reflect on who He has always been to you throughout your life.

It’s good to remember not just who He has been to us but who He always will be because He is the Lord who changes not! He will always be the One who loves us with an everlasting love, the One who lifts our heads when we’re down, who restores our souls, who rejoices over us with singing.😊

Don’t forget God feels very strongly about who we are to Him, and He says nothing shall snatch us out of His hand. When the enemy tries to pull us away He says. “No! They’re mine!”. We are all very precious to God because we’re His children, His great treasure, His inheritance, His masterpiece.

Psalm 28:7 NLT The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.

Last of all, don’t forget that the Lord is our Rewarder as we diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6) and what an encouraging thought as we go into our day.😊

Lord, You are our everything! We depend on You and we bless Your name and thank You for making us Yours. In Jesus name. Amen.
