I’ve been meditating on Ps 18. The progression is my inspiration.
It begins with proclamation! A declaring of truth…who God is – always a great way to open up the dialogue. The mind and thoughts coming into alignment with truth.
Then comes the cry for help – Reality!! The enemy is pressing in on every side – the battle is raging, confronting, strangling the very life. But then a pivotal shift is made.
He says, “in my distress, I called out to the Lord.
I can picture God in his daily routine controlling the universe with his finger….suddenly he hears the faint sound of a child. HIS child calling out to Him . It’s the sound of faith! God drops everything and moves to action. What did He hear? He didn’t hear the sound of hopelessness and distress…he heard the sound of his child coming to the end of himself and crying out to Him in faith to save him!! God always responds to faith!!
When you’re being strangled by the schemes and plans the enemy is trying to get you to take on…the only recourse to freedom is not going to battle alone – but to call on the Lord! He’s the one to fight the battle.
At the sound of your call, He sets the heavens in a forward thrust motion. I can see Him…riding on the wind….rushing to the aid of his child. I can almost feel the wind blowing my hair back! The earth is trembling, foundations are shaking, His voice scatters the enemy with a consuming fire! Oceans are emptied, his glory and radiance move the clouds with hailstones and bolts of lightning – it’s a multi-media frenzy of power and might that even Avatar couldn’t compete with! Just for you!!!
WOW!!! No need to be overwhelmed at your battle! It’s His to fight! Our roll is to believe, establish who He is, call out in faith….He reaches down and draws us up and sets our feet on a large place. A place where we can see clearly and find freedom. That’s inspiration!!!!
