“The God of High Places”
 
rock and redeemer

1 Samuel 2:1-3Contemporary English Version

“No other god is like you.
We’re safer with you
than on a high mountain.”
 
 
 
 
 
I just want to encourage you today with the fact that God desires to be our Rock and our Redeemer!   The writer declares in this scripture that we are safer with our God than on a high mountain!    As Redeemer, Jesus restored us back to fellowship with the Living God of this Universe! We can be cleansed of any sin and we no longer need to live in guilt of past or present mistakes. At any given time in your day you are free to run to Him for the forgiveness and help that you need.  Praise Him today for He is our Rock!    A very present help in time of need!
 
 
 
 
 

As we look to Him as our Rock, we no longer stand in places that shake or can be moved but we can stand on that which brings us strength and security. I loved the one definition of rock that I found. It said to be lulled in security and hope. When one is lulled they are soothed and quieted. I could not help but to think of times when my sons were little and they would come and just be comforted as I held them tightly and prayed over them. We too can run to Him in those times that we are shaken and our soul will be quieted. As we sit at His feet we can be assured that He will calm us from our anxieties and strengthen the faith in our heart.  Thank Him today that He is able to hold you and  keep you, for He is the God that is seated in High Places that are secure and never moved!
