My Rock & Fortress

 

Psalm 65: 6-8

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.  My salvation and my honour come from God alone.  He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.  O my people, trust in him at all times.  Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

 

Observation:

David’s life has taken him to the point where he is totally reliant on God, his enemies were all around him and he found a fortress in God.  The place where he found refuge was a trust in God this became his rock his strength, his hope, his salvation.  As he poured out his heart he grew strong where his faith was not shaken.

 

Application:

There is no other way, God is the only one who I give my whole life over to.  He’s the one to call on he’s the one to talk to, grow with, he is my salvation and hope.  Who else can I put my whole life into his hands?  No one but the Lord, he is the only one I can trust he knows the beginning from the end, He knows my strengths and my weaknesses, he sees my very potential and he leads me on that path.

 

Prayer:

Father help me always depend on You, Your faithfulness is unfailing.  Take me to the place where I will not be shaken in my faith, that I may live with You as my rock, shield, fortress at all times.  Help me today be a better person as I journey with you in everything I do.

Amen.
