What imagery? What a picture of God's rescue and the reason for God's rescue.

So just picture first the rescue that the Psalmist is describing here how God sent from on high,

took him and drew him out of many waters, picture him drowning in waters. Do you ever feel like

you're drowning? You have a God who sins from on high to help you. He rescued me, verse 7,

teen says, and then specifically starts talking about the strength of his enemies and his weakness.

They were too mighty for me, but verse 18 says, the Lord was in my support. You ever feel weak,

too weak to address all the things happening around you, the attacks coming at you from

all kinds of different directions and even specifically spiritual attacks, attacks of the

adversary and your life, your family, your work, the church, and the world like we can feel weak

and really should feel weak in those circumstances when the Bible tells us the devil is a lion

looking to devour. There's not one of us who in and of ourselves alone wants to go up against a

lion, but verse 18 says, the Lord was my support. And when the Lord is your support, it doesn't

matter how weak you are because he is strong, infinitely strong. And verse 19 says, he brought me

out into a broad place. He rescued me. So all this picture of a rescue. So be encouraged today

in your weakness and your drowning. You have a God who sins from on high to help you with his

strength. Why? Verse 19, he rescued me because he delighted in me the God who has all power,

all authority, all sovereignty and all the universe, the lights in you as his child is as a man,

as a woman who is trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. God is your father. He's put his

spirit inside of you and he delights in you today. So no matter what the adversary brings your

way, no matter how weak and overwhelmed you feel, no, that the God of the universe delights in you

and he will ultimately rescue you. God repraise you for Psalm 18 verses 16 through 19. We praise
