"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD." -----Psalms 31:24
Our assurance that God will come to the rescue or simply protect us from harm is one of the greatest truths about Christianity. Not treating God like a genie, but realizing that He is our help in times of distress helps us cope with the waves of life. Knowing this should have a dramatic effect on how we carry ourselves as bearing the mark of Christ. Our self-image should match our God-image. What does yours look like today?

David is celebrating God's deliverance with words of praise. So many times in life we ask for God's help when we are at the end of our rope. When He comes to the rescue, however, we forget where our help came from. It's like being pulled out of a fire from a firefighter, then telling the reporter that what matters isn't how you were rescued, just that you are safe. There is appreciation in the gratitude. I enjoy David's realism. He admits that there were tough times and still acknowledges that God is the one that brought Him through. God is good, all the time.

David devoted 7 of the 11 verses in this Psalm to the power of God's voice. If just His voice has this much power imagine what the rest of Him can do? It it amazing just how powerful our God is. His ways are greater than our ways. His mind is greater than our minds. He alone is God.
