Today’s Bible Verse:"He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." — Psalm 18:19 Psalm 18:19 is a powerful reminder that God’s rescue is not out of duty but out of delight. David reflects on God’s deliverance and emphasizes that His love and joy for His children are the very reason He saves. When God brings us into a “spacious place,” it points to freedom, peace, and security in His presence. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

The Lord Is My Rock | Psalm 18
Pastor Nate finishes the second half of Psalm 18.
1. The king lovingly praises the Lord (vv.1-2, 46-50) 2. The overwhelmed king prays for help (vv.3-6) 3. The Lord moves heaven and earth to rescue him … (vv.7-19) 4. … because the king is blameless and the Lord is faithful (vv.20-30) 5. The Lord empowers his king to triumph (vv.31-45) 6. Lovingly praise the Lord for his great salvation!
“To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.” (Psalm 18:25–26 NLT) Some of the most exciting passages of Scripture involve theophanies, occurrences when God made Himself known in observable and tangible form. What’s especially fascinating about these encounters is how God appeared to different people in the Bible. To Abraham, He came as a traveler. According to Genesis 18, Abraham was sitting outside his tent one day when three messengers arrived. Two of the messengers were angels; the other was God Himself. Centuries later, Jesus commented on the encounter. “Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad” (John 8:56 NLT). Why did the Lord come to Abraham as a traveler? Because that’s what Abraham was: a traveler. According to Joshua 5:13–15, on the night before the Israelites began their siege of Jericho, God appeared to Joshua as the commander of the Lord’s army. Why? Because Joshua was the commander of Israel’s army. According to Genesis 32:22–32, when God appeared to Jacob, He came as a wrestler. Verse 24 says that God “wrestled with him until the dawn began to break” (nlt). Why did God choose that guise? Because Jacob was always fighting, conniving, resisting, and wrestling to get what he wanted. Maybe you can relate to Jacob. Maybe there’s something you want from God, perhaps even a good thing, such as the salvation of a loved one. Maybe you’re tired of being single and want to get married. Or maybe you want to serve God in a ministry. Don’t resort to conniving, because you may get what you want, but at a great cost. Jacob got what he wanted and paid dearly for it. I believe that if he had waited on God, he would have received what he needed and what God had promised. And perhaps God would have appeared to him in a different form. These three biblical accounts reveal an amazing truth about our heavenly Father. He meets us where we are. That’s not to say you can expect a theophany in your life. You don’t need one. If you’re a believer, you have something better. God’s Holy Spirit dwells within you. That’s what Jesus was talking about when He told His disciples, “But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you” (John 16:7 NLT). God communicates to us from within, through His Spirit. And He does it in ways that resonate powerfully with us, just as He did with Abraham, Joshua, and Jacob. The bottom line is this: God wants to do His will in your life in His way and in His time. If you need something from God, be patient and wait on Him. God will meet you wherever you are to lift you to where He wants you to be. Reflection question: When has God met you where you were?

As we conclude our mini-series on Psalm 18 we will learn about how David had complete victory over the enemy, and how his victory pictures Christ's victory over the Spiritual Enemy. We share in Christ's Victory and the devil is under our feet. There are many lessons about this both from the life of David and Joshua that give us great encouragement as we move forward in life as soldiers of the Lord.

Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process. This summer will take us from Psalm 11 […]
In the second of our three part series on Psalm 18 we will learn why David could boast in his blameless and righteous state, how he was empowered by God to jump over walls and run against armies, and ultimately how God's gentleness made him great! What God did for David He will do for you and me!

Psalm 18 is one of the Bible's most triumphant songs of God's deliverance. But if every promise and description in this psalm is applied directly to every believer today, difficult questions quickly arise.

Psalm 18:1-6I love you, Lord, my strength.2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn] of my salvation, my stronghold.|3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.6 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.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from one hard thing, but from a lifetime of hard things stacking up. If you've ever felt that weight, Psalm 18 was written for you. In this message, Pastor Steve McKenzie walks through the retrospective of an old, scarred David who looked back on decades of constriction and remembered what happened the moment he ran out of words and could only whisper one: help. What God did next is the kind of story that changes how you pray, and how you see yourself. This week on Psalms for Weary People.
Psalm 18 reveals God as a faithful and delivering God. Through David's vivid account of God's rescue, we see how God responds to our cries for help. As we recognize God's faithfulness throughout our lives—and ultimately in Christ's salvation—we're moved to respond with heartfelt praise: "I love you, Lord, my strength."This week, our hosts dive deeper into the Psalms, specifically Psalm 18, some of the talking points were, where else in the Bible there are similarities to Psalm 18, defining righteousness, and how does one quiet their mind during their prayer time. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about things they have taken for granted.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the scriptures each day, letting God's word warm our hearts and direct our lives. In today's episode for June 7th, we continue our reading with Ecclesiastes chapters 4 to 6, Psalm 18, and Ephesians chapter 3. We'll reflect on the frustrations and meaninglessness found in the pursuits of life without God, discover the steady refuge and strength offered in the Psalms, and meditate on the immeasurable love of Christ that grounds and empowers us. Join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as he guides us through these passages, offers prayers for our day, and reminds each one of us that we are deeply and unconditionally loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Roots—if you want to grow, you have to have roots. Paul prays that you and I will sink our roots deep down into God's love. His love is where life and growth begin, and where it all continues from. His love is where we grow strong. Paul writes in Ephesians 3, "I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources, he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts. As you trust him, your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong." In other words, everything—our strength, our life, our growth—depends on these roots. Not roots in the soil of our own achievement or effort, but roots that are sunk deep into the unlimited love of Christ. But Paul doesn't stop there. He also says that he wants us to go on a journey into this love, to discover just how long, how wide, how high, and how deep his love really is. This love knows no bounds, it can't be fully measured, and yet we are invited to be forever drawn into its embrace. How are your roots? If you want to grow and have life and strength, you have to sink your roots into his love. Maybe today it's as simple as hearing the words, you are loved. Maybe there's something in your life—a wound, some shame, a regret—that whispers to you that those words aren't for you. But whatever mutes those words in your heart, I encourage you: Look into the face of Jesus and receive his love freely, without interference. Today you are loved. There is nothing that can separate you from the love of Christ; you have been drawn into his embrace. In him, you can be strong. Let the beauty of the gospel draw you further up and farther in, and find your strength in Him. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
