The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.  

2 Samuel 22:3 (KJV)

Flesh is weak and is subject to selfish acts or deeds, whereas our spirit is fortified by God’s Spirit and direction…and we are strong through Him and Him alone.

There will be times in every Christian’s life where they will sift through their minds with questions of doubt, that’s to be expected.  However, the good news is, when we have the strong conviction from our Father and are followers and sealed in faith, we won’t dwell in “self-doubt” long.

It is through God’s grace and love, and our being “grafted” or “rooted” onto the vine, we move on and adapt to our situations successfully.  We are able to get it together eventually…but only by God’s grace and love.

He alone is our Rock.

He alone is our Shield.

He alone is our Tower.

He alone is our Salvation.

He alone is our Light.

A rock is a indestructible substance.   A tower is something that is way above the rest…standing high above all else.  Salvation is  the preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.

And last but certainly not least–Light.   Light is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible thereby delivering us from darkness.

God is all of the above and more. He is defined in the Bible as a “Fir Tree” everlasting….and our loving Father.

 He is defined as a Shepherd, tending to His flock… and our loving Father.

 He is described as a King of kings…over all men and women…and our loving Father.

 He is described as a Buckler, stronghold, refuge…and our loving Father.

 The Great I AM I AM,  the Alpha and the Omega…and our loving Father.

He is all things to all people, but mainly our loving Father.

A Father who wants the best for His children.  A Father who is relentless in His pursuit of provisions for His children.  And a Father who is unconditional in His love for His children.

As we go forward this day. Let’s keep in mind that our Father is omnipotent and is everywhere.  He cannot be kept in a box or pinned down. He is the air we breathe, the blood coursing through our veins, and the heart and soul of our very existence.

Our Rock.  Our Shield.  Our Tower.  Our Salvation.  Our Light.

And,  most of all…Our Loving Father.

Father God, may we always put You first as we go through the day, and may we always give You all the glory honor and praise in all we do, and may we always walk in Your glorious light and be an example for all those in our path, in Jesus name, Amen & Amen.
