Both Psalm 18 and 2 Samuel 22 contain vivid word-imagery of God’s power. In these two chapters I see God’s power as a synonym of God’s love; this great and mighty God rises from His throne, parts the skies, and steps down to my rescue. Because of His love for me, He moves heaven and earth to protect me! What an awesome thought! He reached down from heaven and rescued me; He drew me out of deep waters…He led me to a place of safety; He rescued me because He delights in me. The beginning of Psalm 18 says, “I love you Lord; you are my strength.†Think about your favorite movie with a strong and valiant leading-man and then replace his image with the spiritual image of God: God as our Great Defender, Protector, and our Provider. He is our strength and He is our Hero. Read Psalm 18 and realize the depth of God’s love for you.
