trust in the Lord

Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

Isaiah 26:4 NLT

Having a rock to stand on, instead of sand, in a storm is comforting. Knowing that the rock is also a shelter is even better. We see images of lighthouses way out on rock promontories, the fact that they were built to withstand heavy and turbulent seas is amazing, knowing they would be a secure place in a storm is even better. Better still they guide ships caught in the storm. Our God is even better!

We have bad storms, storms that tear us apart and good storms: too much success or attention.  Both can destroy us, unless we are linked to our rock. During successful times it is more important to make intentional links. In euphoria we can become puffed up and float away,  and find ourselves alone in the sea, without our rock. In bad times our God is our comfort. When we are comfortable we must allow Him to be our conscience and guide, and be quick to repent.

Let us not lose our rock, we will need His truth, His power and His goodness for in us none of this dwells without Him. Amen!
