Psalm 18:30-36
Today we are reading Psalm 18.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 18:30-36 - As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is refined; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. 31 For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God, 32 The God who encircles me with strength, And makes my way blameless? 33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, And sets me up on my high places. 34 He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great. 36 You enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
