1 Samuel 2:2
There
is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock
like our God ~ 1 Samuel 2:2
When
I think of God as my Rock, I think of His faithfulness, stability, His
unchanging nature; all those aspects of God which I can rely upon in times of distress.
According to the Hebrew language, our word translated as Rock, when it is
applied to our Jehovah God, means much more. When it is used in relation to God,
he is our fountain, our source, our spring! There is continual help and salvation
which arises from Him, and from Him alone! He never runs out of that which we
need! What relief that brings to my soul. What help I may need in life, I know
that I can ever turn to Him, and the resources will be there for me. When I burn
out due to my own reliance upon self, I turn to the One whom I should have been
relying upon in the first place and discover there is ample of what I need in
Him!
Blessed
assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh,
what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir
of salvation, purchase of God,
Born
of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This
is my story, this is my song,
Praising
my Savior all the day long;
This
is my story, this is my song,
Praising
my Savior all the day long.
Perfect
submission, perfect delight,
Visions
of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels,
descending, bring from above
Echoes
of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect
submission, all is at rest,
I in
my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching
and waiting, looking above,
Filled
with His goodness, lost in His love.
This
old hymn by Frances J. Crosby came to mind and I had to share the lyrics. Oh
friend, there is power in His Holy Name, there is assurance for your chaotic
days, or for your peaceful nights. There is no one holy like our God, there is
no Rock like our God! Hallelujah and Amen!
