Topic: CALLING UPON GOD (Psalm 18:3-6)
God has been soo good to us and if we can stand in the presence of God is all by His grace that we are save.
Psalm 18:1-6
God has call us and his calling is an opportunity and a call that we didn’t work for it for but we are enjoying the it , all this work God does it for us and at end of the cross he says it’s finish and he has prepared a place for us to stay so we can have our liberty.
David is a person who’s is dear to me because he shows his weaknesses to God so God can intervene in his difficulties even though he sin against God he humble himself before God and he ask for forgiveness and the Lord forgives him and after that he worship God .
One of the most thing thing a creature can do to make God happy is to worship , in worshiping God , Heaven is open for us and whatever you said God listen to us and he can descend from Heaven to Earth in his glory. Psalm 18:1-6
1 I will love You, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
David is the one who is speak to God and he is telling God all those things, he says God I love you , you are my strength , my fortress and saviour, my rock in whom I find protection , my shield the power that saves me and my place of safety, I called on the Lord , who is worthy of praise and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death entangled me, floods of destruction swept over me.The grace wrapped its ropes around me,  death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress I cried out to the Lord,
yes, I prayed to my God for help.He heard me from his sanctuary, my cry to him reached his ears.

If we have God then what else do we need because he is always there for us in every moment and situation in our life and salvation is in him and also salvation cometh from our tongue and God has given power in our tongue .
David always open his mouth and praise God his goodness because he Love God and he is his Strength , for example when somebody confess his Love for us we feel happy is the same thing God feels for us .
When He says “God is his rock and fortress and deliver “ Because every time we call upon God and whatever He does is beautiful even when we weak up from bed we must praise and worship God because he is worthy to be praise and has protect and guide us so we must proclaim our love to God . Sometimes people doesn’t weak up from bed but in all by the grace of God we are alive because God want us to declare his goodness to him. That why we can boldly say “ I shall not die I will life to declare the goodness of God “ .
When we proclaim the Goodness of God , God become big in our situation and the situation becomes little because in all things we must give thanks to God and whatever God does is good and perfect but a times when we enter in dark situations we forget to praise and worship God but David cried upon God in his dark situation and God hear his cry , all this words is in our tongue and whatever we stand in the word of God , God hears our cry.
In verse 4 and 5 the word of God make us to understand that God is with us in every day even when we are in dark situation and in hardship God is with us as example
Hananiah (Shadrac ), Azzeriah ( Abednego)
Mishael (Meshac ) they were saved in the fire and also the Israelites God was with them and he saved them , this God we are serving has called us and he has told us to call him Abba, Father .
We must put our problems and situations into God because he watches over his word to perform , if we only understand and see well the way God loves us , being worried and anxious will never be ours a problem for us .
In psalm 18:4-5
Make us understand that the Love of God is amazing and big so if someone comes to us with negative mind set we must put the word of God over it and move forward , if we believes and love the word of God we wouldn’t be devised by the enemy .
The Bible make us to understand that hardship will came but in all we must put our Trust in God and stand farm in his word, nowadays as believers in Christ we must continually pray everyday because only by prayers can save us from what is coming for us that why David says that the “ I cried out to the Lord and he heard me from his sanctuary “ .
Is time to understand that the time we are in now it all about the word of God and prayers as stand in the gap for other so God can save and help us .
