2 Samuel 22:2-3(KJV)
And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
David, a man after God’s own heart, composed this lengthy song of praise to the Almighty for his deliverance. He has realized that he is now firmly established, having vanquished all his enemies and delivered from the tyranny of Saul’s reign. David confidently acknowledges that all his victories come from God, the ultimate source of his success. The experience of David concerning Divine Protection is worthy of study. He acknowledged God as his Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer when the Lord delivered him from all his enemies and Saul’s hands. It is a fact that we live in an increasingly wicked and dangerous world. But the good news is that no matter how difficult the world and people get, God will consistently deliver His people in dangerous times because we serve a God eternally committed to preserving His children. Psalm 62:1-2 says, “In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” Our God is indeed Jehovah-Nissi!
As believers, we may face difficult circumstances, but we can take comfort in knowing that God’s Grace, Peace, and Joy are always with us. No matter our challenges, we must not lose faith in our powerful and almighty God. Like David, when faced with adversity, we should remember that we have the Lord of Hosts on our side. We can stand firm on the solid Rock of Christ and emerge victorious with Him. Psalm 125:1 says, “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.” Trusting God is an exercise of faith, looking at God’s goodness, power, and promises above our fears and discouragements, confusing doubts, and our immediate situation. When we trust God, He watches and fights on our behalf, and the battles of life cannot consume us.
Beloved, it does not matter what you have faced or are facing now; you shall end well. Instead of focusing on your circumstances, make God your priority and stand firm and secure in Him! Meditate on God and His Word, and fellowship with Him until the revelation of who He is in you starts to thrill your soul. Cultivate daily praising the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Make demands always on the preservation power of God at the Throne Room of Grace. Today, trust the Lord, for your protection is guaranteed. Remain in Him, and He will help you fight against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness. He will not allow you to be defeated in battle because He will defend, protect, deliver you, and subdue your enemies; you are safe in His Hands, for our God never fails! God will always be your Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, Strength, Shield, Salvation, and High Tower if you allow Him and trust Him. He will save you from all your enemies. You will live to see the end of all enemies, including household enemies who have connived to hand you over to external enemies in Jesus’ Name. Remember, challenges can help you strengthen your defenses and propel you toward greatness.
O Lord, thank You for being my Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, Strength, Shield, Salvation, and High Tower. I ask for Your preservation power on my life in Jesus’ Name.
