Psalm 18:4-6 NIV

The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

God is our Rock, and we can hide in Him from the storms of life.

Psalm 18:2 (The Message)

God is a 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.

“One with God is a majority.” — William Carey.

Psalm 18:1 NIV
I love you, LORD, my strength.

Psalm 18:1
I am loving you now, and will continue to love you, LORD, my strength.

A Christian is one who seeks and finds God, yet continues to pursue Him.

We taste Thee, O Living Bread, and long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, and thirst our souls for Thee to fill. — St. Bernard

The love of feeling.The love of willing.

"The will is the automatic pilot that keeps the soul on course." — A.W. Tozer
