“Satan so hates the genuine praise of Christ that his fiery darts of discouragement are not effective against us when we respond in praise.”

- William Thrasher

Pastors nowadays refer to Jesus as one’s “personal Savior”.

How quaint, eh?

In Psalm 59, David, being the constantly in trouble child of God that he was, saw God not just as some amorphous “personal Savior” but referred to God as...

1. Lord God of Hosts – “Hosts” means “angelic armies.” – v. 5

2. The God of my mercy. – v. 10

3. O Lord our Shield. – v. 11

4. The God who rules to the ends of the earth. – v. 15

5. God of my defense. – v. 17

Matter of fact, David had a litany of names and descriptions for the Shepherd of his soul throughout the Psalms. Shout these out to God at the top of your lungs when the enemy is attacking you, the Church, our families, and our great nation. God’s a holy butt-kicker against all that is evil and the clowns who’re attached to Satan’s devices.

Proclaim his various names out loud with some gusto!
