The LORD Is

Throughout the Psalms we are encouraged with the words, “THE LORD IS…” For instance:

Psalm 18:2 “THE LORD IS my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer.”

Psalm 23:1 “THE LORD IS my Shepherd.”

Psalm 27:1 “THE LORD IS my Light and my Salvation.”

Psalm 29:7 “THE LORD IS my Strength and my Shield.”

Psalm 34:18 “THE LORD IS near to the brokenhearted.”

Psalm 37:24 “THE LORD IS the One Who holds my hand.”

That takes us only through the first 37 chapters of 150 Psalms!

Take each word in “THE LORD IS” and see what each word tells you about Him:

“THE LORD IS” – He is the One and ONLY One. He is the One, True, Living God. There is no other like Him. He is the same today as He was when the Psalms were written. He will be the same forever. No one compares with Him. He is trustworthy in ALL His ways.

“The LORD Is” – He is the Sovereign, Almighty God. He is preeminent and in control of ALL things. Nothing happens that He doesn’t either direct or allow.

“The LORD IS” – Not “was!” Not “will be.” He “IS.” Omnipresent! Omniscient! Omnipotent! Because He is your Creator, He knows you intimately. He understands all that’s going on in your life and what those circumstances might to the insides! He loves you – yesterday, today and tomorrow and He cares for you out of His everlasting love.

As you read through the Psalms, look for those three “little” words that mean SO MUCH to appear often! See how, each time you read them, they apply to your life and circumstances. Take comfort in the fact that THE LORD IS everything you could ever need.
