Ps. 18:1-19  What an AMAZING picture of God as a warrior!

The picture of a mother grizzly bear ran through my mind as I read this.  I'm sure you've seen a nature clip where the bear cub has somehow gotten away away from the mother and runs into something that is coming after it or is trying to hurt it.  As soon as the bear cub starts bawling, you hear the mother bear roaring and out she comes crashing from the bushes at full speed ready to pummel whatever it is that's attacking her baby.  This scripture characterizes God the same way. 

Daughter crying, Father hearing

Earth shaking, mountains quaking

smoke pouring, flames leaping,

Storm clouds brewing, angel soaring

Darkness veiling rain clouds brewing

Presence coming, Brilliance shining

Hail raining, coals burning

The Lord thundering, The Most High shouting

Arrows scattering, lightning flashing

My Savior rescuing, My God reaching

My Lord upholding,  My Father delighting

Interesting.  I've never been one for poems as I've never really understood them but this one came to me after I read the verses and was trying to describe the feeling of awe, the amazing understanding of God's response when one of His children call out to Him. 

Awesome.
