GOD, THE DELIVERER
Good Morning!!!
GOD, THE DELIVERER
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
October 1
Read Psalm 18
Everyone knows today that man's greatest enemy is fear.
If you really get rid of fear concerning any danger
it has no power to hurt you.
It is no mere platitude to say,
"There is nothing to fear but fear."
If you are afraid about something,
read this psalm—carefully and thoughtfully,
realizing the spiritual meaning of each verse,
and very soon your fear will begin to lessen,
and will finally disappear.
The advantage of a written prayer like this
is that it makes you think powerful thoughts,
and, as you know, it is the right thought that demonstrates.
The change brought about in your thinking does the work.
The psalm opens with an affirmation of faith in God.
Always begin every prayer
by affirming your faith and trust in God:
“I will love thee, 0 Lord, my strength.”
Then you go on to say
that God is your rock, and your fortress,
and your deliverer, your strength and your buckler.
You think of Him as the horn of your salvation
and your high tower.
The horn is a symbol of plenty,
and, of course, a high tower is a safe place.
If you hold to your faith in God
it is only a question of time
before you will be free and therefore safe.
