SCRIPTURE: 2Samuel (NIV) 22:1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent men you save me.
OBSERVATION: The Lord does not provide a fortress for me: He is my fortress. He is my deliverer. God does not provide me a place for refuge; He is my refuge. He is my shield.
God is not so much interested in what He can do for me as interested in what He can do with me. The protection God has provided is in the relationship I have with Him. “God is my rock, IN WHOM I take refuge!”
APPLICATION: Many times, I want God to provide for me what He has promised to be to me. I must make myself aware of His presence. When I live in an awareness of His presence, I find I already have what I was looking for.
PRAYER: Lord, living here is a walk of faith. In faith I live as though your word is true. You are my fortress; in you I have peace, forgiveness, and restoration. You are my refuge and in you I have peace. With your presence I have confidence to face the world. Amen
