I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.

Psalm 18:1 (NLT)

 

Even in the darkness, I see His light, for He is with me always.

I hear Him.

I feel Him.

I sense Him.

I know Him.

I love Him…I am paying attention.

My Lord is a fortress every moment of my life. Whether its while doing chores, sleeping, eating, walking, talking…he is with me all the time. Shining His brilliance and love on me and through me.  He is the barometer in which I measure all things, today, tomorrow and always. His temperance is solid and never wanes no matter what circumstances swirl about. I know He’s here… I’m paying attention.

Psalm 18 speaks to my heart, as it depicts a very active God, and a man—David— with a heart for God.  It is laid out in informative fashion, and is abundantly clear in its message… I’m paying attention.

To sum it up easily, “it’s about loving and active God in heaven, and a man—King David— here on earth, who is filled with love for Him, and wants to carry out God’s will, and work, all the days of his life.”  This man—King David— in Psalm 18, knows and fulfills God’s will… He is paying attention.

The presence of God is everywhere, if we pay attention, we might see it more readily than before.

It is transparent in all we endeavor to do each day. If we pay attention. 

He surrounds us in 3-D.  He upholds us as we walk through the tunnel of adversity.  And, He is relentless in His protection. It’s obvious to see, feel, and hear.  If we pay attention.

David loved the LORD, and beckoned to Him, and cried out to Him. He listened and paid attention, all the days of His life. The LORD was His light and lamp and refuge and fortress.  All of which He is for us, today, here and now.

Love Him, with all of your heart, and soul, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.  Be not wise in your own eyes, LOVE HIM, and keep from evil, it’ll be health to your navel, and marrow for your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8)

He will never let you down.

That’s His promise.

And, God’s promise is a promise that will NEVER be broken. 

Listen.  Are you paying attention?

“Father, I love You with all of my heart, soul and mind and might, to You be the glory and honor, now and always, in Jesus precious and mighty name, Amen.”
