Psalm 18:1–2 (ESV)

“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.”

Reflection (concise):
These opening lines declare trust grounded in experience. David does not speak in abstractions—he names God as strength, rock, fortress, deliverer. Each image emphasizes stability, protection, and proven reliability. The passage reminds us that faith matures when it is anchored in lived encounters with rescue and endurance, not merely belief.

Leadership & life takeaway:
When pressures rise, effective leaders—and resilient individuals—return to their foundations. Strength flows from knowing where your refuge is before the crisis arrives. Psalm 18 frames resilience not as self-sufficiency, but as alignment with a source that does not shift.
