Keep on singing!
I hold not the Rock, but the Rock holds me
The Rock holds me, the Rock holds me
I hold not the Rock, but the Rock holds me
I’m standing on the Rock that is Christ

God is your anchor in the storm; He is your refuge in times of trouble. The storms of life can’t swamp you because God lives in you. Be firmly established in this truth. Meditate on this and let it permeate every fiber of your consciousness.
Personally, I am grounded in this understanding. Through the years, I’ve learned to laugh at the devil whenever he comes at me; because I’m not the one holding onto the rock; the Rock –Jesus Christ– holds me. It is for this same reason that you can laugh at the storm. You can laugh at the devil when he comes at you, because God is your stronghold. Trust in His ability to deliver you from the fiery darts of Satan and his cohorts.
Years ago, I preached a sermon that I titled ‘Satan Do Your Worst’. Yes, you can laugh at the devil’s antics, because his worst can never match the least of God. All of the forces of darkness cannot match the smallest finger of God’s hands. Because God is your refuge, the devil will never get at you.
God is the one holding you; that’s the message for you today. The Rock holds you. Put your trust in God, and keep this understanding in your spirit as you journey through life.
Memory Verse:
Jude 1:24“To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy…”
Prayer:
Thank you Father that you are my refuge in times of trouble. The schemes of the Evil One will not get me because you are my shield, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
