Psalm 18

This is from my morning devotional with Henry Medina:

Psalm 18 is a beautiful/powerful Psalm with rich meaning and symbolism.

I see this chapter as a microcosm of God's plan of salvation for mankind.

It starts with David entangled in sin (v4-6). Then God invades earth and wins the victory (v7-16). We have been rescued (v17-19) and we are Justified in God's sight according to Christ's righteousness (v20-28). Now that we are restored to God we now embark on a journey of Sanctification to battle a defeated foe through God's strength (v29-45). It ends with David's beautiful response of thanksgiving to his Savior, his Rock, and his God (v46-50)
