I love you, Lord, my strength.
You are my rock
my fortress and my . deliverer.
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation
my stronghold.
I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me
the torrents of destruction overwhelm me.
The cords of the grave coiled around me
the snares of death confront me
In my distress I called to the Lord
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice!!
my cry came before him, into HIS ears.
The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains SHOOK
they trembled because he was . angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down
dark clouds were under his feet.
He mounted the cherubim and flew
he soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
The LORD thundered from heaven
the voice of the Most High resounded
He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies,
great bolts of lightning and routed them.
The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me
he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place
he rescued me because he delighted. in. me. (rilee)
This passage makes me tremble.
God, creator of the Universe. Who rides on dark clouds and coughs up bolts of lighting... cares for me. Smoke comes out of his nostrils when He's angry!! When He sees that I am in need of Him, when I am in deep waters and am desperate to be pulled out.
He wants to be my protector and my strength. I need to let Him.
With a breath from Him the earth can be laid bare, in ruin... just a speck in the galaxies.
I serve a mighty and loving God. It’s too much to conceive of or wrap my head around. Maybe that is why most of my time I spend with Him I am silenced
