Today... 'Fortress Of Salvation For His Anointed One'



A Fortress of Salvation is the Lord
the strength of all those trusting in His word.
The shepherd of His people and their shield
a mighty stronghold that will never yield.

They shall be forever safe and secure
and although time will fade they shall endure.
With angelic voices their anthem raise.
all joining together to sing His praise.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Psalm 28: 6—9
Praise be to the LORD,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
The LORD is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Fortress of salvation for his anointed one'
