Last night's sunset was so beautiful. It blessed me in abundance. It reminded me of just how awesome God is as the Creator of the universe. This picture with the rocks remind me of Psalm 18 that begins with The Lord is my rock... A rock is a foundation. Therefore, we have His strength when we allow Him to be our foundation. David is the perfect example of living in God's strength. He went through so many devastating things in life only to have victory. His enemies tried to ruin him but God had other plans. God led him from victory to victory. Verse thirty reads, As for God, His way is perfect... David knew no matter what come before him or how often he felt like the world was against him God was always there. The remainder of Psalm 18 is a testimony of David's victory with the enemy being struck down over and over again. At the end of the Psalm David praises God for being the Victor not himself. He knew the victory belonged to God. He knew God was the one responsible for all that happened. It all began in verse one with I love You, Lord, my strength. When we love God in this manner and build upon Him as our foundation, we too will have victory over the enemy. I am reminded this morning of the song "See A Victory" and feeling very hopeful with some situations I am experiencing.
I'm gonna see a victory
I'm gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord
