"The Lord is..."

I love You, O LORD, my strength.  The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies (Psalm 18:1-3, NASB).

        Looking throughout the Bible, we find hundreds of "The Lord is..." statements.  This is because the greatness and glory of our Lord cannot be captured in a single word or sentence.  He is so profound and above us that we could go on forever trying to describe Him and His nature.
        In Psalm 18, the Lord is beautifully described as many different things.  He is the firm, unmovable rock and fortress that can stand against any assault; but at the same time, He is swift enough to deliver us from any threat.  He is our shield.  When we are on the move and fighting the daily battle, He is there to protect us from any surprise attacks.  As the horn of our salvation, He is not just a defensive agent, but a symbol of force and the great resounding voice of victory.  He is able to be called upon, so that when needed, we can trust that He will aid us in the thickest fight.

        Most importantly of all, He is worthy to be praised.  However, this isn't listed as an F.Y.I.–as something to be done merely when convenient.  If you know the Lord and understand all of the things He is, your praise for Him will be as unstoppable as His willingness to fight for you.  So praise Him, and do it daily!
