More Solid than Concrete

But the LORD was my support. He also brought me forth into a broad place; He rescued me because He delighted in me. 2 Samuel 22:19-20 (NASB)

  • King David wrote these words so long ago, and today they still ring true. 
  • "the LORD was my support" God's support is one that can not be shaken, broken, changed, or moved. Now that is a support that we can rely on! 
  • "He brought me forth" God placed me right where I need to be, so that He can show me His glory and power.
  • "He rescued me" and delivered me. God is the only One who can do so. God is our foundation of solid rock and the only One who can be that for us.
  • "because He delighted in me" One can not even begin to understand how awesome God's love and grace is. Just the fact that He delights in me lets me know that I can't even understand how valuable my life is in God's eyes. I need to always remind myself to not take this precious gift of life for granted and value my life and the lives of others.
  • When God sent Jesus to die for us on the cross, it was an example of just how much he delights in and loves us.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for speaking to me so clearly through Your word. Thank You for letting me know that I am rescued because You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ. With Your great support, I know You strengthen me to be a good servant for You. LORD, please never let me forget how much you delight in our lives, and grant me the wisdom to lead others to know You. ~Amen
