If someone asked you to list ten or ore reasons why you love God, how would you respond? Why don’t you try it? Then you’ll have your answer ready just in case you would need it. Or perhaps it would be a good thing to use when you’re praying. You might say to the Lord, “I love You, O Lord, because You . . .”

That’s exactly what King David did after God had deliverd him “from the hand of his enemies and from the hand of Saul”. He sang to the Lord. It was probably towards the end of his life when David composed this Psalm or song. Throughout the days of his life, David had experienced both discouragement and defeat but he always knew that God was for him. He also understood that with confession and repentance, comes complete and full forgivenss. David’s heart was full of praise to the Lord who had always showed him unfailing kindness.

Our crises and challenges, our stresses and pressures, our trials and temptations are not exactly the same as the ones that David faced, but our God is the same. He wants to give you and me strength and security. He wants to be your shield and your Savior. He alone can meet you in the darkest hours and can sustain and support you. The Bible tells us so!

I pray that you will come to know God more completely through this study of His Word.
