A couple of hours outside of San Antonio there is an encampment in which the Frio River runs right through the middle of the camp. Groups have to drive their vehicles into the river to get to the campsites. I don't mean just drive through the river. The road to get to the campsites is the riverbed! It is really fun to experience. Our former church had a camp every year called the Family of God camp. Our former pastor had a ritual he always performed at this camp. He would take a group of children on a hike, and during this hike they would all stop at this one rock. This rock was huge! This was the highlight of the hike, because the challenge would be given to try to fit as many kids on the top of that rock as possible. The rock's size was so impressive, but so was its location. It was in the middle of this river. This rock was immovable. This rock was enormous. This rock had plenty of room for everyone to stand on top of it.
David wrote a Psalm that talks about the Lord being his rock. It is recorded in Psalm 18 and II Samuel 22. David spoke the words of this song: "The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer." What circumstance have you live through or are presently going through that you have a need for a Fortress or a Deliverer? What about all the decisions that you face and simply need a standard or a guide to direct you? What do you stand upon in the tornado-like winds of this world? David's relationship with God was his answer to all three of those questions. Today, our relationship with God through Jesus Christ gives us a Rock to stand on, a Fortress to dwell in and know God's safety and provision, and a Deliverer that can rescue us from the penalty, power and presence of sin!
Thank God today for Him being our Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer. Spend some time in prayer worshipping Him! Announce to Him your expressions of how God has been your Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer.
I know it has been a long time, but do this for me: Post your comments on here! Let the focus of your comments be to share with the world how God has revealed Himself to you as the Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer in your life. Post away!!!!
