Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. (NASB)
The Lord has been my Rock and my refuge all of my days. Not because I am perfect and good, but because He is perfect and good. This breaks my heart and fills me with such gratitude and love for God because who am I? A sinner in need of grace.
But because I've confessed Jesus as my Savior and Lord and follow Him, His grace covers all my sins. Every time I cry out for help, God hears me. He helps me. He becomes my safe place while He works things out for my good.
Over several decades, the Lord has shown me that because He loves me, I can trust Him. I can let Him be in control. He won't abandon me in hard times or in good times. He's my everlasting Rock! I can choose to lean on and rely on Him without fear every day for the rest of my life.
"Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed." (Ps. 34:5) (ESV)
