Knight in Shining Armor

Psalm 18

I love you, God— you make me strong. 
   God is bedrock under my feet, 
      the castle in which I live, 
      my rescuing knight. 
   My God—the high crag 
      where I run for dear life, 
      hiding behind the boulders, 
      safe in the granite hideout.


I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty,
      and find myself safe and saved.

 ^4-5 The hangman's noose was tight at my throat;
      devil waters rushed over me.
   Hell's ropes cinched me tight;
      death traps barred every exit.

 ⁶ A hostile world! I call to God,
      I cry to God to help me.
   From his palace he hears my call;
      my cry brings me right into his presence—
      a private audience!




Feast on that! 


Man, did I need to hear that today...and everyday. 
I always knew Jesus was a knight in shining armor. Now I can say it legally. It is right there in the Psalms. Ahh, Jesus--Knight in Shining Armor. 


I love the last part. "My cry brings me right into his presence." 
I'm really starting to learn that I have so much to learn. AND that I don't always have to have it all together. It is ok if I mess up. Or say something wrong. Or hit the snooze button one too many times. 
He hears my call. He knows me. 


The other day I repented for feeling like I always have to control the situation around me. And I sweetly heard the Lord say, "I know you. You are heard and seen by your Father in Heaven." I'll never forget when He said that to me. It was like a cabinet opened in my heart and a release of relief swept through my whole body. I AM SEEN! I AM SEEN! I AM SEEN! like me. alex ruiz. I am seen by Heaven. 


and so are you. 


OH, to be known. That is why we are alive. To be seen and heard by our Daddy. 


The circumstances around you are not obstacles that you keep you from God. They actually escort you straight into His Presence. Step in.
