    PSALM 18

    TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

    1. “Jehovah Is . . . the One Who Rescues Me”

    (10 min.)

    Jehovah is like a crag, a stronghold, and a shield (Ps 18:1, 2; w09 5/1 14 ¶4-5)

    Jehovah hears our cries for help (Ps 18:6; it-2 1161 ¶7)

    Jehovah acts in our behalf (Ps 18:16, 17; w22.04 3 ¶1)

    Collage: David sitting by a campfire and meditating on the ways that Jehovah had helped him. 1. He fights an attacking bear. 2. He kneels next to a dead lion. 3. He holds a sword and stands over Goliath, who is lying face down on the ground.

    Jehovah might choose to remove a trial as he occasionally did for David. However, often God makes “the way out” by providing what we need so that we can endure the trial successfully.​—1Co 10:13.
