Photo from Moab, UT
Sometimes life overwhelms me and I feel like I’m sinking. Sometimes I’m sinking in laundry and dishes; other times it is in self-pity or guilt. I can never pull myself out of that desperate place on my own. I have to remember that the Lord is my rock. He is a firm foundation, even when I feel like life is ever-shifting around me. He never changes, even my kids’ schedules and my emotions are on a roller coaster. He is my defense from those darts of guilt and shame and condemnation that the enemy flings my way.
When I was in Moab, UT and I saw this rock, Psalm 18:2 came to my mind. Psalm 28:7 came to mind also. It says, “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.” When I go back to the fortress, my heart is helped. When I put my trust back where it belongs, I find rejoicing and my song returns.

a great comfort indeed to have the LORD as our Rock I thought afresh of this passage when I read this from Ps 40:
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust,..
Blessings of our LORD upon all you do and my we keep the upward look in all our doings, Shaz in Oz.x
