Psalm 18:2 (ERV)
“The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety.
He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection.
He is my shield; by his power I am saved.
He is my hiding place high in the hills.”
As believers we know Him as our Rock. He IS the Rock on which we stand, and we know that as we stand upon that Rock we shall not be moved. We can never remind ourselves enough about what He did for us at Calvary.
Before I knew Him as a teenager I can still remember whispering a prayer before my eyes went shut each night. “God…there just has to be more to this life than this…” I just could not believe within my heart that there wasn’t more. Tormented in my soul I would keep uttering this prayer and then I met Him face to face at the last closing moments of a week long crusade I had attended. Each night my heart struggled as I fought to surrender my all to Him. What a fool I was to think that my ways were better and higher than His. I praise God that in that time in which my heart was overwhelmed that He led me to the Rock that was higher than I!
Psalm 61:2 (KJ21)
“From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee
when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to
the rock that is higher than I.”
