The psalmist is delighted with God. Psalm 18 is a thanksgiving expressing gratitude for a blessing from God. God’s work on his behalf causes the psalmist to raise his voice in unabashed enthusiasm. He exclaims, “I love You, O Lord!” (18:1).

Paul teaches: “Tribulations produce patience; and patience, tried character” [Rom 5:3–4]. That God has promised to be with believers in tribulation [cf. II Cor. 1:4] they experience to be true, while, supported by his hand, they patiently endure—an endurance quite unattainable by their own effort.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

Jesus said, “Repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1: 15)

“The Secret Place” by R C Sproul, is based on Psalm 91 and expresses the superlative comfort of safely dwelling “in the secret place of the Most High” (Psalm 91:1), where there is “no better place now for us to dwell.”

“Let the one who desires take the water of lift without price.” (Revelation 22:17)

Paul says that this grace teaches us “to renounce ungodliness… and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives” (Titus 2:12).

Remember that ultimately we stand alone before God. Neither your wife nor husband nor any other friend can stand in for you in your relationship with God. You are responsible to him for “the things done in [your] body” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
