Psalms 18:28-33
You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
I read this in the prayer room. It was a day that I was not wanting to do much. I was stress and feeling the trials of life. I read this and felt the words just popped out and catch me. I began to take a phrase and prayed it back to God. "Lord, you keep my light burning. You keep me burning and you never let me go. No matter what, you are there. It is through you I am strong...etc.." I began to get excited and strengthened as I went on. "You turn my darkness into light. All the walls are closing in on me but you are my light. Darkness can not survive. You work out things for the good for those who love you. I love you Jesus." With Him and through Him I can advance against a troop. I can do ALL things through Him. I am just being reminded of the Word of the Lord. God begins to bring to rememberance His Word and promises. His word is flawless. He is a faithful God. He is a God of His Word. Flawless! And on and on it went as I began to read His word and pray it back to Him. Power! There is power in the Word. And especially when you speak it and pray it over your life.
