David was very personal in his seeking of God. Nine times in Psalm 18, he expresses his lifelong seeking of the Lord in those terms using “my”:
Psalm 18:1-2 I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn [means ‘power’] of my salvation, my stronghold.
When David described the Lord, as we have seen, he was possessive.
God was not distant to David; he is “my” God.
From DSS-46 – David – A Long Obedience in Seeking God (061105AM)
