~ My 4 S's ~

When satan attacks us by making our lives crumble around us, we must have words to fight with and stand strong on. We must be ready to proclaim His Word and sing His Praises to cause satan to turn tail and run, or at least make us a fortress that he can not destroy.

I will never forget the first time I heard this song......I think it would be fair to say it was during the absolute hardest time of my life. Even though my world truly was falling around me, I knew Jesus was there holding me, and, I was learning to let myself just be Held By Him and trust in His plan.

Since that time, over and over, I have sung this chorus in praise to Him and rebuke of satan's tactics to cause me to doubt and fear. And daily, in my little mind, I pray and proclaim "my 4 S's" that Christ is to me....

my Shield,
my Strength,
my Shelter, and
my Strong Tower

I'm not sure why this post has been on my heart all day - Maybe one of you need to trust in Him to be "your 4 S's" as well.

Or, maybe seeing those beautiful words in print are just His way of reminding me of all He has been and will be to me....

Made Me Glad
by Darlene Zschech

I will bless the Lord forever
And I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
And he has set my feet upon a rock
And I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord....

You are my shield
My strength
My portion
Deliverer
My shelter
Strong tower
My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in Heaven but you?
There's none I desire beside you
You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord....

You are my shield
My strength
My portion
Deliverer
My shelter
Strong tower
My very present help in time of need
