Is God Your Rock? Your Refuge in Crisis? Oh, You Don’t Know Him
David proved to himself through his relationship with Almighty God that He is the Rock of our salvation and a firm foundation to build our lives on. David discovered through the many battles he encountered that the Lord was truly his refuge and his shield. God was David’s high tower, enabling David to see his enemies before they got to him. Through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we have all this and more than David had. We have God living on the inside of us. After Calvary the Lord dwells in the new recreated human spirit of all who chose Jesus for salvation. Jesus has saved us from burning in hell and living beneath our rightful position in this life. God is our refuge and shield for a reason. If we’re not engaged in some sort of struggle and conflict because of our God given purpose, something isn’t right. The devil has little interest in the christians who hardly know God (he’s just hugging you tighter). All trouble stems from the demonic influences in this world and people who are spiritually dead to God. God is more to us than we know. Jesus said learn of me, take my yoke upon you because it is light (Matthew 11:29). David wouldn’t move a muscle without knowing God was with Him, how about you?
