The Lord Jesus Christ is our Rock. His work is beyond
perfect. He is completely fair and just in all of His ways. There is no
prejudice in Him and we have faith in His faithfulness. He is upright and
totally impartial (Deuteronomy 32:4). There is nothing and no one, in
which we can trust, that is as solid as God Almighty. He embodies all that is
holy (1 Samuel 2:2). We find glorious refuge in the house of our
salvation, in Christ, the Lord of hosts (Psalm 18:2). His
actions and precepts are perfect.
When we run to the Lord in our distress, He shields us. He
is the true and only perfect Lord and God in our world (2 Samuel
22:31-32). We take refuge in Him as our strong fortress and perfect
deliverer. He is our stronghold and He saves us from the long-term effects of
violence. He came to earth to lift us up. He works everything out for our
ultimate good (Romans 8:28). We can call on the Lord at
anytime (Hebrews 4:16), because He is totally worthy of
all of our praise (2 Samuel 22:2-4).
If we do not build our life on the Rock of Christ, the
tempests of life will destroy us (Matthew 7:27). He gives
us the shield of salvation and trains us to battle the devil. Sanctification
gives us supernatural ability to withstand the arrows from people in life who
attempt to harm and belittle us. He forgives all of our sins and sets us free
from bondage to the law of sin and death by His law of life in Christ Jesus (Romans
8:2).
Our Lord lives and we bless Him as our Rock. We exalt Him
as the God of our salvation (2 Samuel 22:47; Psalm 18:46). There is
salvation in no one else (Acts 4:12). His joy fills our heart and we
prance like steady deer on the high places of life. He broadens our path
beneath us, so that our feet do not slip from His straight and narrow path (2 Samuels
22:33-37; Psalm 18:33-36). Those who refuse to trust in Jesus Christ for
salvation will reap destruction for themselves and fall under the wrathful
judgment of the Living God (John 3:18; Hebrews 10:31).
Prayer:
Father God, we are Your sheep and You know us and we hear
Your voice. Help us to follow You in all of Your ways and to listen to Your
Spirit’s promptings each moment of our day (John 10:27-28). Thank
You for eternal life, and for preventing Your Saints from the second death (Revelation
21:8). You put us in Jesus’ hand, and no one can take us from Him (John
10:29). We praise Your name and give You all the glory for our
life.
Thought for the Day:
The wise will build their life on the Rock of Christ. - Matthew 7:25-26
