First love

I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18:1 – 3
 
David was going through some rough times when he wrote this song to God.  He was very discouraged.  Friends failed him.  Family betrayed him.  He felt alone and discouraged.  He sat down and penned this song. 
 
The beginning of this song is the key to the whole of life.  I love you, O Lord.  Remember this day the first love of your life:  God.  
 
Thought for the day.
