Water from a Rock?

Water from a Rock?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who recall how you used Moses in the wilderness to strike a rock to provide water. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Scripture is full of miracles. The record of what happened to Moses at Horeb when he struck a rock and water flowed appears in Exodus 17:1-7. Even though the people had complained about not having enough water, God provided.

Psalm 114:1-8 (ESV) reminds the Israelites of their history including the parting of the Red Sea and how God allowed the people to pass through the Jordan River. There is also reference to Moses and the rock.

“When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.

The sea looked and fled;
Jordan turned back.
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.

What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.”

Unshakable Confidence?

Unshakable Confidence?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God alone is their rock and salvation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God alone. The psalmist acknowledges he is waiting on God. His soul is not waiting for just any god. He is waiting for God who provides salvation.

Psalm 62:1-2 (ESV) emphases David’s unshakeable confidence.

“For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.”

Are you confident that you will not be shaken? Do you know God is your rock and your salvation? If not, go to

Out of the Pit of Destruction?

Out of the Pit of Destruction?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who trust God to draw them out of the pit of destruction. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever walk on an uneven path? In doing so, a person becomes acutely aware of their balance, and takes each step cautiously.

In Psalm 40:1-2 (ESV), the psalmist takes us on a journey from the pit of destruction to being surefooted.

“I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.”

God can make our way safe and secure.

Seek the Lord. Be wise. Ask for help.

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.
