“I got you.”
“I got you covered.”
“I got your back.”
These are some comforting words, aren’t they? Whether we’re short on cash, strength, or courage, it’s nice to know that someone is standing with us, ready to provide that extra help or push.
In Psalm 18, David refers to God as his:
Strength
Rock
Fortress
Deliverer
Shield
Horn of salvation
Stronghold
Refuge
Listener
Rewarder
Savior
Light
Trainer
Equipper
Rescuer
Exalter
And, in Verse 18, David explicitly says that the Lord is his “support.” God is the one who “carries (-port)” us, with his hands beneath (-sub) us. We're in his care. We're protected by Him. He's got our back.
“No man is an island,” and no one should navigate through life alone. We all need friends, family, and others who can stand with us as we weather the storms of life. I know firsthand that those close to me have helped me countless times in the “pickles” of life. What’s incredible is that they were placed in my life by God so that He can help me through them. And, ultimately, even if friends and family fail me, God whispers in my ears, “I am here. I got your back.”
God is our greatest Supporter. He roots for us. He cheers us on. He walks with us and surrounds us with his presence and providence. So, go with God today, for He goes with you. He’s got your back. He’s your #1 Supporter.
