Psalms 18:29 "For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my
God have I leaped over a wall."
Christians, how many times have your friends told you that the
job you are trying to do for God is impossible? When I first started
writing these Bible studies, many of my friends told me that this job
was too big for one person to do. They were right, I can not do this
job, it is too big, but PRAISE GOD! Christ within me can do the job.
The wall may be high and look like it is impossible to climb, but with
God's help, I can climb any mountain He puts before me.
Psalms 18:30 "[As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the
LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him."
We may not always understand what God is doing at the moment in
our lives, but we can be assured it is the right thing. God is
perfect. He does not make mistakes. Whatever problem we are facing at
the moment, we can trust that our God can handle it. Our job is not to
question, but to trust Him. To have faith is one thing, but trust goes
beyond faith. Many married people, who have been together for many
years, will tell you that trust of their spouse, regardless of how the
circumstances look, is what has held them together. Remember, we got
into the meaning of buckler in a previous lesson, and found that it
went much further than just a protection. It means protector, but it,
also, means shield, armed, and defense.
Psalms 18:31 "For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock
save our God?"
We find in this statement a truth almost too deep to comment
upon. I John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." From
the beginning of time to all of eternity, we will still be trying to
understand the fullness of who God is. The Spirit is one. The
personalities of that One Spirit are three. We know that Jesus was,
and is, the Rock. He is the Rock that we must build our house upon. He
was the Rock in the wilderness that Moses struck to bring forth water.
He not only was the Rock, but is the Water that flows from that Rock
as well. I have said it before, but it has need to be said again. God
is everything good and wonderful. He is my all in all. Without Him I
can do nothing. With Him I can do all things.
Psalms 18:32 "[It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and
maketh my way perfect."
I would suggest that you read the 6th chapter of Ephesians
beginning with the 11 th verse to truly understand the help of the
Lord. All of the items that the soldier in Ephesians was to wear were
things God would have to give the soldier. The Israelites learned
first hand how easy it was to lose a battle when God was not with
them. If the Ark of the Covenant went before them, on orders from God,
they won the battle. If it were a battle of their own making, they
lost. God will make our way perfect, if we stay in His way and not our
own.
Psalms 18:33 "He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth
me upon my high places."
A deer has feet that are swift and, also, they can jump over high
obstacles. If we are like a deer, we are not easily stopped. Notice,
that it is God who puts you on high places.
Psalms 18:34 "He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel
is broken by mine arms."
Some people are offended that we are soldiers, in a battle to the
death for the Lord. When David went into battle, it was a war that he
was fighting with the blessing of God. The Holy Spirit of God teaches
the Christian the way to win the war that we are in. Our weapons are
not carnal. II Corinthians 10:4 "(For the weapons of our warfare [are]
not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong
holds;)" The weapon of the Christian is the twoedged sword, which is
the Word of God. Are you ready to do battle for the Lord? There is a
spiritual war, and there is a physical war. Christians are called to
the spiritual war.
God have I leaped over a wall."
