--THE GOD WHO SAVES ~~ [Yeshua HaMashiach]

---" The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower."

--[Please read all of Psalm 18 / Psalm 18:2] --

----What a testimony given by David to his God! In this single verse, there is a sevenfold ascription of praise to the Lord for His great salvation. Each testimony can be appropriated also by all who trust Him.

--**My ROCK / The word used here does not mean a stone or even a boulder but a mighty monolith, immovable and impregnable.

--**MY FORTRESS / This word refers to a great bulwark--a stronghold: . The Hebrew word is essentially the same as Masada, the high butte where the Jews resisted the Roman armies after the destruction of Jerusalem.

--**MY DELIVERER / "Our God is able to deliver," even from the fiery furnace, the den of lions, and from the armies of Saul.

--**MY STRENGTH/ This is another word often translated "rock," this time a rugged, craggy one, most appropriate as a symbol of great strength.

--**MY BUCKLER: / The small, movable shield used to "quench all the fiery darts of the wicker" (Ephesians 6:16).

--**THE HORN OF MY SALVATION / This striking Old Testament symbol is even repeated in the New Testament (Luke 1:69) and applied to the coming Savior, referring either to the "horns of of the altar" where fleeing sinners could cling for refuge or to the fighting horns of a strong beast.

--**MY HIGH TOWER / Here the word is not used for a man-made tower but for a natural, high topographic eminence, suitable both for watching and for defense.

**The great promises of salvation and security in Christ are timeless. The words that brought such hope to David are still a comfort to believers today. He is still "the God of all grace" (1 Peter 5:10), to all who trust Him.~~
