Pastor YC "Psalm 59: Names of God"

A scan at the names used by the psalmist to describe God reveals His nature:

Strength (v9, 17); Loving (v10,17); Shield (v11); Fortress (v9, 16); Refuge (v16)

V16 sums it all up:

PS 59:16 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

It takes a while, but take time to let the names of God impact you and me. The God who is loving and strength (at the same time). He whom I use (as a shield) to block off attacks and the fortress in whch I hide when enemies surround.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of each of these "characteristics" of God have we experienced?
