"As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For who is God, besides the Lord? And who is a rock, besides our God? God is my strong fortress; And He sets the blameless in His way." -II Samuel 22:31-33 (NASB)
At a service I was attending, the speaker said, "The waters of life tend to erode a path that we then just follow." It can certainly seem that way! The expectations, routines, and schedules of our lives can push us along as we rush from place to place. As we are being swept along, we may need to look for a rock to help us slow down and change course!
While life may seem to have plans for our path, the author of II Samuel reminds us that God's way is the blameless and trustworthy way. As life is sweeping us along, we need to look for the one rock that we can grab onto in order to change the course of our lives. God is the rock on which we can depend and on which we can anchor ourselves. After we grab hold of God and His promises, we must listen and follow His path for our lives. It will take work as there are times when we must go against the currents of life's eroded path, but we will see the rewards of listening and following God's guiding hand!
When life starts sweeping you away, change course by grabbing onto God the Rock!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being the rock in the river of life. Help me to always hold onto You and to follow Your will for my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
