If you are like me, your idea of who God is depends on what’s going on in your life. Some days, He’s a comforting Father holding you in His arms and quieting your spirit within you. Other days, He’s a fierce warrior, standing with you, helping you fight, and encouraging you when you are in the midst of battles. If you’re not running to Him for every occasion, how do you manage this life? I can’t help it; whether dealing with family or foe, crying out to Him in troubled times is automatic. Does he come to mind when you’re being crushed? Are you including Him in both the good times and the trying times? Share every part of your life with Him; He’s waiting for your attention and expecting you to come to Him for help. He is our rock and fortress, our shield and high tower; no one is more available than He is. Make Him your first thought when the arrows fly, whether friendly fire or enemy combatants. He wants to be our go-to for everything. People whose God is the Lord are the happiest; I can attest to that truth.

A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! orthe son of man, that thou makest account of him! Psalms 144:1-3

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. Psalms 144:15
