I Love You, O Lord

A Living Faith
What is Faith?
Faith Requires Mutual Love

Psalm 18:1-6

The Message

A David Song, Which He Sang to God After Being Saved from All His Enemies and from Saul

18 ^1-2 I love you, God—
    you make me strong.
God is bedrock under my feet,
    the castle in which I live,
    my rescuing knight.
My God—the high crag
    where I run for dear life,
    hiding behind the boulders,
    safe in the granite hideout.

³ I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty,
    and find myself safe and saved.

^4-5 The hangman’s noose was tight at my throat;
    devil waters rushed over me.
Hell’s ropes cinched me tight;
    death traps barred every exit.

⁶ A hostile world! I call to God,
    I cry to God to help me.
From his palace he hears my call;
    my cry brings me right into his presence—
    a private audience!

For Reflection

 Some love God because they are afraid not to.  Some love God because they are grateful for living in the joy of His grace. Why Do you Love God?

Pray

that the love you have for God will continue to grow, maturing in wisdom, hospitality, and grace.
