God Is My Rock, Part 3
Our Father, Our God, Jesus the Word, is our place of security. He is solid and secure. When we stand on Him, all around us may be shaking but He is stable, dependable, always there, ever present to take care of us. In the times in which we are living, He alone is immovable and steadfast. When we place our complete trust in Him, then we become immovable and steadfast when all around us is sinking sand and trouble and destruction.
2 Samuel 22:31-36, KJV and Amplified Bible
As for God, His way is perfect (entire, full, complete, whole, sound, undefiled, without blemish or spot) – the word of the Lord is tried (refined) – He is a buckler (shield) to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.
For Who is God, but the Lord?
And Who is a Rock (Mighty One), except our God?
He is my strength (fortified place, defense, rock, stronghold, fortress) and power (my Fortress, force) – He makes my way perfect (sets me free).
He makes my feet like hinds’ feet (firm, able) – He sets me secure and confident upon the heights.
He trains (teaches) my hands for war….
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation – and Your gentleness has made me great (increased, enlarged, excel, grow, nourish, plenty, abundance, multiplied).
What promises we have here in this scripture passage! Our God is a shield for us against the troubles sent against us. He is our fortress and stronghold. He sets us securely above the problems and gives us confidence that in Him we are overcomers. He causes us to increase and grow and be nourished with abundance in the middle of the storm. That is reason to rejoice and praise Him for Who He is in our lives. Praise Him! Rejoice in His goodness! Trust Him!
