God Shot

God reveals Himself as a rock, fortress, and Savior who delights in rescuing the humble (2 Sam 22:2–20). He is the God who empowers His people for battle and establishes His covenant with those who fear Him. In Psalm 57, He is the Most High who fulfills His purpose, sends from heaven to save, and whose steadfast love reaches to the heavens. We see a God who exalts Himself above the heavens and yet stoops low to shield His servant with mercy and faithfulness.
