Almighty Security System

"I am your strength and shield. I plan out each day and have it ready for you, long before you arise from bed... concentrate on staying in touch with Me. Refuse to waste energy by worrying... My Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers...which is the best security system available." (32)
We have constructed our own methods of security. Alarm systems, hidden cameras, video surveillance, retirement plans, savings accounts, disaster supplies, emergency funds, gated communities, padlocks, dead bolts, police patrol or even the family dog! All of that, just to relieve our concerns for safety. We live in a world that threatens our safety and our peace of mind.
What a comfort to know that as God's children we can have an additional peace of mind believing that "the Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold...and I was saved from my enemies." (Ps. 18:2-3)

  1. I love having the security and peace of our Savior! After reading this, one of my favorite Aaron Jeoffrey songs kept running through my head.

    I go to the Rock, I go to the Rock
    I go to the Rock, I go to the Rock
    I know, I know He's able

    Where do I go
    When there's no body else to turn to
    Who do I talk to
    When no one wants to listen
    Who do I lean on
    When there's no foundation stable
    I go to the Rock I know He's able
    I go to the Rock

    CHORUS
    I go to the Rock of my Salvation
    I go to the Stone that the builders rejected
    I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
    When the earth all around me is sinking sand
    On Christ, the solid rock I stand
    When I need a shelter, When I need a friend,
    I go to the Rock

    Where do I hide
    When the storms of life are threatening
    Where do I run to
    When the winds of sorrow blow
    Is there a refuge (a refuge) in the time of tribulation
    Cause I go to the Rock
    I know (I know) He's able.

    CHORUS

    When the earth all around is a-sinking sand
    On Christ, the solid rock I stand
    When I need a shelter, When I need a friend,
    When the earth all around is sinking sand
    On Christ the solid rock I stand
    When I need a shelter, When I need a friend
    I go to the Rock

    I go to the.. I go to the Rock
    I go to the Rock. I go to the Rock
    I go to the Rock

  2. Thanks for sharing the song, Melissa!
    It brings back memories for me, too. A great Truth to remember!

  3. I love that song too! I love the one that says "On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand." It is an oldie but a goodie.
    The other picture that keeps coming to mind is a living shield- kind of like the one in Star Trek that flows over you and surrounds you as you travel.
    I have had that in mind all day. Nothing gets to me that doesn't go through Him first.

  6. Thank You For Posting. I do a devotional and prayer call with my family and friends 3 days week. I read from Jesus Calling & wanted them to be able to follow along or go back & read what I read to them that day. So this helps until I'm able to buy each of them their own copy. God Bless
