Rock, Stronghold, Deliverer?

Rock, Stronghold, Deliverer?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you are their rock, their stronghold, and deliverer.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV) says,

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

In Psalm 144:1-2 (ESV) we hear David testify about God.

“Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.”

These two verses have insights about the God of the Universe. Have you taken time to trust the one God who provides abundantly, and who David calls, My rock?

Is He Your Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer?

Is He Your Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who trust God to be their rock, fortress, and deliverer. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The God of the Old Testament delivered his people from Egypt. God then led his people into the Promised Land. When King David’s God, the same God, saved him from Saul’s wrath, he wrote Psalm 18:1-3:

“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.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.”

God had power far beyond what we could ask for or expect. Let us take time to praise his name for saving us from our real and imagined enemies. Please give praise. Now.
