God Alone

Psalm 83:18
"Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord - that you alone are the Most High over all the earth."

This is the last verse of a prayerful song offered up by David. This is a man who recognized who the enemy was, how he was scheming and just how great his God was. He knew, and believed, that God alone was the Most High. That no enemy would be able to stand against him!

Many are the enemies that try to rise up against us. It's important that we know who our God really is. Not only knowing God's word, but intimately knowing who he is, gives us incredible protection. Believing and not doubting, but taking him at his word!

Knowing that he is our refuge, and our strong tower gives us a protection to run into when the enemy presses in. Knowing that he is our shelter from the storms brings much comfort when we are afraid. Knowing that we can hide beneath the shadow of his wings causes such a sense of safety and security.

Our God goes before us and fights for us. To the faithful, he shows himself faithful.

2 Samuel 22:31-33 says, "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."

No power can stand against God! God is for you. Who can stand against you? He is mighty to save you from your enemies. No power can stand against God! God alone is the Most High over all the earth!
