Why do we need to love the Lord?

“I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.” Psalm‬ ‭18:1-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬
As David was anointed, he was persecuted by Saul for 10 years… This is the Psalm which he lifted up to God who anointed him and selected him to become King of the people of Israel. He praised God who kept his promise to make him King ~ as God is perfect in every way.

God is the Creator
     •He created light to darkness
     •He allowed faithfulness to overcome emptiness
     •He brought order to chaos
start your day with thankfulness to God first and foremost ~ this is secret to happiness

God is our protector
     •He is our rock
     •He provides rest
God is out fort
     •The Lord is our strong tower to keep us safe (Proverbs 18:10)
     •“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”
      Psalm‬ ‭34:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
God is our Savior
     •“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and
      whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John‬ ‭6:35‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •He delivers us from evil
     •He brings us to safety
     •He forgives
God is worthy of worship
     •He is all knowing ““But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,
      nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew‬ ‭24:36‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •He is capable of all things
     •He is eternal
     •He is constant and faithful
     •He is merciful

God helps those who cannot help themselves
     •“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
      they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •We must know and admit we are weak and that He is strong… be willing to receive His help
God is our shield
     •He protects us from the attack of the Enemy… From persecution
     •“We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” Psalm‬ ‭33:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬
God has all authority
     •He is not just an awesome God but an all mighty God
     •“Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength
       and power to exalt and give strength to all.” 1 Chronicles‬ ‭29:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •“and said: “ Lord, the God of our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over
      all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand
      you.” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭20:6‬ ‭NIV‬‬
God is our refuge and our stronghold
     •“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭9:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Most importantly… God loved us first!

APPLICATION
     •Praise God
     •Confess He is our Lord
     •Praise God with all our lives
     •Praise God as one body, with one purpose and one voice
     •Lift up all glory to God - are you doing it for your own recognition or truly wholly for God's
      glory?
     •Praise Him every moment of our lives… Not just at church
     •Love the Lord your God with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength!
   Love God and depend wholly on Him. He will give you strength and ability to handle anything in this world to be victorious ~ in all things, all glory be to God!
