Girded with Strength for Service
Psa 18:27-50
God’s way is perfect, and if only we will walk with Him He will make ours perfect also. Walls and troops cannot stop a man when God leads him through them. We must follow on the line of His purpose, and then the very mountains are a way and our enemies subserve the program, Act 2:23.
Swift and sure-footed, when the path is slippery, Psa 18:33; strong in battle, Psa 18:34; great through God’s gentle kindness, or, as the English Book of Common Prayer renders it, “thy loving correction,” Psa 18:35. Severity would never have done for the Apostles what Jesus did by His patience and long-suffering.
The closing hallelujah of Psa 18:46-50 is very fine. It is the living Savior that we need. We must stint our words when we speak of men; but mortal lips, however eloquent, have never exhausted the worth of our King.
