Because of who He is

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Yahweh, my rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14, LSB)

Those words are well familiar to me. I’ve read and sung them many times. But today, I was focusing on that last line.

Who is God to me?

God is “Yahweh.” The eternal one. The only God. The incomparably awesome One, God over all creation.

And yet, he is not a God far away. He is Immanuel, God with me. My rock. My foundation. My refuge in the storm.

More, he is my Redeemer. Jesus shed his blood for me on the cross, buying me out of slavery to Satan’s kingdom and graciously bringing me into his kingdom.

That’s who God is to me.

That’s why I love him.

And that’s why I seek to please him, singing with David,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight…

Who is God to you?
