“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
– Psalm 18:2
Let this be your song when the earth shakes and the people around you quake. Let this be your song when everything around you is spinning and changing faster than ever before. Let this be your song when you feel lost and alone, hurt and betrayed, broken and surrounded on all sides. Let this be your song in the face of disaster, disease, disability, and death.
All other foundations for our lives will crumble under pressure. All other deliverers will fail us. All other refuges will either trap us or leave us unexpectedly vulnerable. All other shields will break. All other strongholds will fall apart. All other salvations will fall far short of the salvation we truly need.
Take time to reflect on what your life is built upon. If it isn’t truly built on God but is instead built on self, status, wealth, career, or other people, it’s time to rebuild! Build your life upon the rock. Live in obedience and faithful dependence on Jesus Christ.
