Call Upon The Lord 2 Series

Let’s continue to read a couple of more verses from Psalm 18.

18. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. Now, this talks about the enemies.

19. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because He delighted in me.

Now, this talks about how much God loves. God takes delight in us; that is the reason why we are here. If He never delighted in us, then we wouldn’t be here. If you ever feel like, “Oh, nobody likes me. I feel lonely.” Remember Jesus delights in you. Jesus loves you. Jesus cares for you. Jesus can protect you. Jesus can provide for you. If you ever feel like, “Lord, I don’t have the money tomorrow, how am I going to pay my rent? How am I going to get my clothes? Whatever it is; remember God will provide for you. God delights in you. You know what, let’s read verse 21.

21. For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

Now, that is the secret. If you want the Lord to really delight in you, follow Him faithfully. Follow Him faithfully, follow Him faithfully and God will provide. He is faithful to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. God is speaking as a prophecy to somebody here. You are worried, “Lord, how am I going to go past this? Lord, how am I going to go past this? Who is going to carry me through past this? Lord, I know You can carry me through; Lord, I am not confident.” You know what the Lord says. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20). So, no matter what you have in the back of your mind. You may not have it right here, but all the time it’s there. All the time it keeps coming saying, “Lord, what is going to happen 6 months from now? What is going to happen 8 months from now? What is going to happen? How am I going to go back? Those are all your thoughts. But the Holy Spirit says, “Cast all your cares upon Him, He cares for you.”

And let’s read from 25-29. We are going to close with this in a little while.

25. To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26. To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27. You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28. You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

29. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.

So, with God basically, we can do anything. With Jesus, you can do anything in the world. God says in verse 27, when we are humble, God gives us His favor. That is the Word of God, it says in 1Peter 5 to the humble, God gives grace. He resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble. You want God to give you more grace, the more humble you are, God will keep lifting you up. The more humble you are; God will keep lifting you up. The ones that keep going up are the ones who are humble.

The moment we say, “Ok, I know everything. I can do anything. I have arrived.” That is the time the Lord will take his hand off. He will say, “Ok, daughter, learn your lesson and come back. I will help you.” Any good parent would do that. So, God in His mercy because of His love, He actually lets us fall to our face on the ground. So we just say, “Ouch! I got hurt. I cannot walk. Like a baby, I need your hand Lord, Hold my hand. I don’t want to be independent.” And God is so faithful. God is so faithful. I can say over and over and over again. God is so faithful. We serve such a faithful God, a faithful God, a faithful God, an ever-present help in time of trouble. So, anytime we have trouble, we can always call. We can call the Lord in our labor room. We can call the Lord in the delivery room. Call the Lord in your examination room. Call the Lord anywhere, anywhere, in the hospital, anywhere. You can call on Him and He will say, “I am right here.” God is right here and

29. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.

That means with God, He is basically saying, I can do anything. I can do anything. God will do everything for you. God’s Word says, with God…we know all this verse, right, “With God, all things are possible. With God all things are possible (Mathew 19:26b) Just highlight the word ALL. There is nothing that is impossible with Jesus Christ. With God, all things are possible.
