    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not yo...

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

The Lord is My Rock

  • He said, The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; You save me from violence. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. 2 Samuel 22:1 ESV

    David sang this song to the Lord when he was delivered from all of his enemies. Where others saw nothing, David saw the works of the Lord through the eyes of faith. When those around him did not believe, he could truthfully say, I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. It works for me, see the dead giant head I am holding?

    He would have had nothing to sing about at all if he had not lived through some pretty hard times. You do not get the glory without the story. You do not have a testimony without a test. Though invisible to our normal eye, the Lord is there to help us. An unshakable Rock, the Ancient of Days, The Living God. When we invite the Lord into our situation, it changes, and when God is on our side, no one can stand against us.

    Do not struggle in your own strength. Invite the Lord into your situation. Ask the Lord to come help you with this. Dont become discouraged when it takes longer than you thought. David went through many afflictions, but God delivered him out of them all.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please come and be a part of my life today. I look to You Lord. Save me from my enemies and give me wisdom to excel, in the name of Jesus.

    Note: For any who did not receive the group message, the newest installment of the RHM weekly Bible Study is now available! We pray that the study will help you grow in His Word and that we can all learn together by participating in the discussion. Please let us know if you have any suggestions to improve this study. Have a blessed day!

Carol Pady In my personal experiences with trials, persecution and adversity, God's grace is abundantly poured out! He is my Rock, my Redemption, my Salvation, my Protection, my Father, my God! In plenty and in lack I am content. In the storms of life I can lie my head down and sleep. I praise You Abba Father for Your daily provision and protection as You fill me with Your peace which passeth all understanding!

Patty Martin
Patty Martin I have always loved the story of David.  I once attended a Bible study that focused only on David.  Through the study, I learned that no matter how much we mess up, God can use us for a good purpose.  Only He sees what we have the capability to become and only He knows the sincerity of our hearts.  God has used me in more ways that I could have ever imagined possible, He has forgiven me for my transgressions and taught me how to forgive myself, and He has given me the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Thank you, Lord, for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself.  Thank you for providing strength and endurance when I didn't have any, and thank you for leading the way when I was lost.
