“Far Away”
This song has really true and inspirational lyrics.
“On God rests my salvation. My glory, my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, pour your heart out before him. God is a refuge for us.”
Psalm 18:2-3 “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my delieverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 46: 1-3, 7 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”
I have been noticing a lot more lately that it’s easy for me to forget to rely on God in times of trial. However the Word of God specifically tells me to rely on him and that He is my refuge, He is my strength, He is my rock, He is my deliverer. When I turn to God I can see how the trials he puts me through draw me closer to Him and help me to realize a certain change in my life that He is calling me to make.
His proclamation that He is my rock is really significant. When you build a house on a foundation of sand it is not stable. It is ever changing with the circumstance. If it is raining the sand can be washed away. Similarly, in times of trial, a life built on a foundation of media, trends, and things of the world will not be stable and they will not provide a solid foundation in which we can endure the pain or hardship. However, a house built on a foundation of rock will provide stable shelter in times of difficulty. Similarly, a life built on the foundation of God’s truth and his Word will provide us with a refuge and safe shelter where we can overcome the storm.
