“But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.”
Psalms 94:22 NIV
This is one of the themes that has been prevalent in my time with the Lord each morning during these days as the world is spinning to seek refuge in God, to know that He is a rock to stand on. I cannot imagine walking through these days without the Lord as my rock, the Lord as my refuge in a world where there’s storms all around, to know the confidence that we can have in God in who He is, in His characteristics, His attributes, in what He has said, in all of His promises, in what He is doing. Ultimately, His purposes in the world that we know are good for all who trust in Him. Throughout Scripture, God is referred to as a rock. This is not to say that He is made of granite, but it is a reference to His steadfastness. Like a mighty mountain, God is immovable and secure in all His ways. Because of this, He is our source for security and strength. When life brings surprises, we can stand on our God. When people change, our God will not. When situations arise, our God is our refuge. As you wake up this morning, spend time in God’s Word and get to know Him more. Read His promises with great anticipation. Grasp His love and mercy and allow that to strengthen you today. The more we know about God, Jesus and His might and power, the more we will be equipped to stand strong during the storms of life. Life may bring instability but with God we can remain stable. As the Psalmist declares in this text, we need to declare that when we are filled with cares of this world we will run to the Lord our God who is the Rock that is higher than we are. It is there that He not only comforts us, but He also gives us joy, peace and hope, which in turn causes us to be cheerful and not fearful. Indeed, hope has a name and His name is JESUS!!!
