Daily Bible Verse: Psalms 18:2

When the Lord is your refuge, there is nothing you can’t do.

In Him, you can comfortably weather the storms of life.

Yes, the storms of life will seek you out, to test you, provoke you and cause you to wonder where God is.

Psalms 18:2 Is A Powerful Blessing Before The Storm

One of the secrets I learnt a long time ago is that I need to pray Psalms 18:2 even before the storms come, so that when they eventually sneak up on you, Psalms 18: 2 is immediately activated.

That way, the devil tries his best and sees no hole in the fence to manipulate.

Our challenge every day is to keep prayed up, fired up all the time.

The challenge for many of us is that we don’t cover ourselves upfront so the storms come and sweep us off our feet. And when they do, we leave ourselves exposed to the devil to come up set up shop in our lives and cause our lives to be one self-defeating cycle.

Thanks to Psalms 18: 2, we now know that we have a safe place, a protected place, a place of comfort, protection and company that no devil can penetrate.

6. My Horn of salvation: In ancient times, the Israelites used the horn as a proclamation tool, a symbol of victory and instrument of triumph.

If you go through the rest of Psalms 18, the Psalmist gives you a glimpse of some really graphic terrible times he found himself in, where he had no choice but to rely on God for salvation. Now wonder he began the Psalm by saying

I will love you O Lord, my strength.
