You are !!

“”For You are my lamp, O LORD; The LORD shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”

II Samuel 22 : 29-31 (New King James Version)

We read in Psalm 34: 8, “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”.

My mom makes this absolutely yummy Burmese dish called Panthe Kaushwe (not sure how its spelt) . Its just fabulous . So utterly yummy. I could describe it to you but you really would not understand it until you have tasted it for yourself. Only when you taste it for yourself will you truly savor all that the dish is prepared to be. Personal Experience !! It does not matter how many times I eat it :-) but you gotta eat it to truly know how tasty a dish it is.

We read in II Samuel chapter 22 , David is praising God for how wonderfully He has delivered him from all his enemies. David knows what it is to put his trust completely in the Lord. Enemies might surround him from every side… there might be circumstances that seem like a momentary loss… But God reigns ! He is exalted. As we read verse by verse of this chapter, the joy of the Lord that resides in David is just sooo evident.

Have you tasted the Lord personally ? Enemies will come… snares will be laid out for you … BUT if we would call upon the LORD and walk in His ways He will deliver us. David kept the ways of the Lord . And when he called, the Lord answered. Probably not always in the way David imagined it to work out.. not always in the time or moment that he would have pictured in his head… But the Lord answered in ways beyond what he could have ever thought or imagined ! Praise the Lord.

I pray that we will walk in His ways and put our trust completely in Him and we will see His glory and we will taste His victory and we will overflow with His joy . This afternoon let us all declare …

YOU ARE MY LAMP O LORD !
THE LORD SHALL ENLIGHTEN MY DARKNESS !
FOR BY YOU I CAN RUN AGAINST A TROOP !
BY MY GOD I CAN LEAP OVER A WALL !
AS FOR MY GOD HIS WAY IS PERFECT !
THE WORD OF THE LORD IS PROVEN !
HE IS A SHIELD TO ALL WHO TRUST IN HIM !

God Bless
