“The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.”
1 Samuel 22:2-3 (KJV)
David’s song of joy, proudly and loudly proclaiming, the LORD is His Rock and Shield, is a common thread to all believers. Those who are blessed to know Him personally, and intimately, know Christ is our personal Protector, and Champion, in whom we can all take refuge.
As with David, and His lamentations and proclamations, of both troubling times and joyful moments, the LORD wants all of His children to take part in this wonderful, and awesome truth, and in His ever lasting love.
Christ, is our Savior, and well known to those of faith. We know that His love, imparts His glory for all of His children. He does not divide His love, sub-divide His grace, or pick and choose whom He wishes to help, or grant grace and mercy to.
No. In fact, He wants “all” of us to realize the depth of His power, the impact of His wrath,(should we choose another path) and the reward of obedience, to His Sovereign, and Glorious Omnipotence.
We should rejoice as David did, in full recognition, of His undivided attention; His free flowing, and never ending love; along with His undiluted grace, and merciful salvation.
The full moment of knowing we have a Savior, who cares for us, unconditionally, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, is not only an epiphany of exponential proportions, but also a life defining moment, that transcends throughout this lifetime and beyond.
Our Rock.
Our Refuge.
Our Love.
Our All.
Amen!
“Dear Father, thank You for Your never-ending ongoing protection, for being our Rock, Provider, Protector, and loving us with the capacity of which none other can, may we rejoice in You today, tomorrow, and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
