Our Rock of Ages

Psalm 62:5-6
I wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in Him.
He alone is my Rock and my salvation,
my Fortress where I will not be shaken. (NLT)

Because of our fallen nature it can be quite a struggle for us to wait in silence for God to reveal His will, especially when we are hurting and discouraged and fearfully in doubt that God will intervene on our behalf. David realizes that he is nothing without God’s power and grace, and this gives him the confidence to remain steadfast in his faith that God’s will, will be done.
To have this kind of faith as David did, does not happen overnight. It comes by learning who God really is and what part He plays in our world and in our own personal lives. It comes by learning the Truth that is found in God’s Holy Word (Psalm 119:73). When you learn and believe in all the amazing things God has done through ordinary people (like you and me) since the creation of man, you will understand that our sovereign God is “in control”. He knows all things, my friends, and nothing will alter His plans for us, His creation—plans for good; plans for a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Whenever we build the foundation of our lives on the solid Rock of Creation, we will systemically grow in our faith and learn to rely on the LORD our God, especially during the raging storms of life (Luke 6:47-48). And when you know that God is near and you have the hope of salvation stamped forever on your heart, you will fear less of this unstable world and have the Peace of God to comfort your weary soul and His strength to get you through!

A Whisper of Hope
Come to Me…dear child, for I Am the Rock that will protect you and give you a safe haven in this savaged world destined for destruction. When you rely on Me, the Savior of your soul, I will direct your path and lead you in Truth. I have overcome this fallen world and have made the Way for you to follow suit. I allow you to suffer so that you will grow and strengthen in your faith in Me; the One who is in control of all things. All that I ask is for you to do your best with what I have so graciously given you and rely on Me for all the rest!

Psalm 119:73
Your hands made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn
Your commandments. (NASB)

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have you,” says the LORD,
“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to
give you a future and a hope. (NASB)

Luke 6:47-48
Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like; he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. (NASB)
