- One word to describe God…..
- Our God is OUR solid rock. We are the wishy-washy ones.
- The song Rock of Ages was written in the 1700s. The man who wrote it was stranded in a storm and stood under a cliff. When he returned to the office, he penned the song remembering how he felt.
Psalms 18
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Psalms 62:1-8
- God our Father gives us salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ.
- Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
- He is our fortress…our rock…our firm foundation. It is an inaccessible place where Satan cannot get in.
- Job was attacked by the devil but only with God’s permission. God gave specific instructions to not kill Job.
Psalms 62:1-8
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
- Only one faith, only one God, only one way to Heaven
- Many people believe that you can get to Heaven on works. The only way to Heaven is salvation through His Son, Jesus.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
- Our hope in God helps us with our hurt. Hope is faith looking forward.
- Jesus is our resting place. David wrote that if he had wings like a dove would I fly away and be at rest.
- The Hebrew meaning of the word expectation means connected. Psalms 62:5 reads “for my expectation is from him” meaning I am connected to him.
- When the Levi priests were carrying the Ark of the Covenant, they called on Moses and Elisha to help them cross the water. However, God told them to step into the water by faith and the water parted. That’s faith.
- We need to look forward. The hope is ahead of us and we are connected to Almighty God through Jesus Christ.
- God is trustworthy, at all times.
- “God is a refuge for us”…He is our resort…our rest.
- It’s not what we can do but what You (God) can do through us, through others around us. It’s all about God…not us. We don’t need to look inward but upward. Cry out to God for help.
- God uses the foolish things to confound the wise.
- When we invited Christ into our lives, we were connected to the Almighty God. He reached down from Heaven, pulled us out of the miry clay and placed us on the solid rock of Christ our Savior.
- Our disobedience and sin separates us from the Almighty God.
