“Fix Your Eyes On Your Lord the Rock!”
by Dona Hake
Our Lord and His Word are our forever Rock! He and His Word will NEVER change. Today we are meditating on our sure foundation and hope, our God our Rock. The demands of this life can weaken our focus if we permit it. Oh how the cares of this world can so craftily come to rob our hearts of the Word of God. As we grow in the revelation of keeping our gaze and focus on Him, we will surely walk in a greater revelation of casting our care upon Him. May we diligently tend to our hearts and guard our minds that we can stay focused on our Rock the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you are at that place that your focus has been too much on your problems and your heart is heavy and burdened, here is a scripture for you to meditate upon.
Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all of you who are tired
and have heavy loads. I will give you rest.”
The Lord understands our frame and how we can heed to the temptation of trying to do things in our inability. It is no wonder that we experience weariness in our souls at times. I am so thankful that the God we serve is forgiving and understanding, and He gently reminds us that He desires to carry our load and bring strength and restoration to our souls. He is calling for those that are trying to carry the load of life in their own ability. He promises that if one lays the heavy burdens and load at His feet, He will deal with each and every one. He will give our heart,soul and our mind the rest that we need. He will bring strength to our heart in place of the weariness that we may be experiencing from trying to deal with problems in our ability. Today we praise the Living God for He is our Forever Rock and He is our Burden Bearer!
Isaiah 26:4
“Trust the Lord
always. Trust the Lord
because he is our rock forever.”
