The Lord, Your Rock

The Lord, Your Rock


 
As you call out to the Lord for his help, he will lead you into the path of his protection and shelter. He is the LORD your rock, your fortress and your deliverer. He is a strong tower and a shelter from the enemy. Trust him to do all that he promises to do and to bring you into his safety and security. Learn to abide under the shelter of his wings as you rest in his presence in the tabernacle of his glory. Trust him and he will surely do it.

Key Thought

The greatest thing you can do in a time of crisis is to pray. God will hear your cry from a million miles away! And he will immediately come to your rescue. Don?t let any circumstances, no matter how overwhelming or catastrophic, overcome you. Trust God and he will surely rescue you.

Prayer

Lord, I cry out to you. My heart is overwhelmed by the struggle against sin and those who oppose your plan. Thank you that you are my rock, my shelter and my fortress. I trust you to deliver me.

Discipleship Steps

God?s protection does not mean you will never be in situations of challenge or difficulty. Your enemy is against you and wants to stop God?s plan for your life being fulfilled. But you have divine protection in times of trouble. He has given you authority to trample on the serpents and scorpions sent by the enemy. So go boldly about the business of the kingdom of God and don?t be deflected in your commitment and resolve. God is with you!

Christ is the Cornerstone of our Faith

Christ is the Cornerstone of our Faith


All the suffering, pain and hurt of the old creation will be left behind and we will enjoy the full blessings of the new creation. This is our certain hope and not just a nice idea. The resurrection of Christ as a fact of history is the cornerstone of our faith. When God raised Jesus from the dead it proved that His sacrifice on the cross was accepted by God and that Jesus was everything He claimed to be.

Key Thought

Your Christian faith is based on facts ? real, physical and historical facts. This gives you an unshakeable confidence that your life is secure in the Bible beliefs you have received, and that your present imperfect experience of God will one day give way to the fullness of resurrection life.

Prayer

Dear Lord, help me to rest on the secure foundation of resurrection faith. Help me to stand the tests of my own imperfections and be confident in the saving promises of your Word.

Discipleship Steps

Your faith is real. Jesus really came, He really died and He was really raised from the dead. Your faith is not make-believe but is based on unalterable truth and reality. Therefore your discipleship must also be real and not just following a few nice religious thoughts out of personal preference which don?t really matter in the end. The exact opposite is the case. Think what difference will this make in the way you live your life today.

Read: 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

Jesus You are my firm foundation! Declare it today!
