March 8 ~ Isaiah 26:4
So always trust the LORD because he is forever our mighty rock.
Scripture taken from the Contemporary English Version © 1991,1992, 1995 by American Bible Society, Used by Permission.
Think about Sugarloaf Mountain. Picture the strong, sturdy rock formations at the top of that hill and how they have stood for centuries. Consider the strength of those rocks and try to imagine what type of force it would take to destroy them. Hard to even fathom, isn’t it?! The only force I can envision that could destroy Sugarloaf would be GOD Himself! So when we consider God as our “mighty rock” and think of Him in terms of such strength… it makes perfect sense to trust Him, doesn’t it? Think about climbing to the top of Sugarloaf and resting underneath a clear blue sky - feeling the wind blow across your face - and how comforted you are by this sensation… how exhilarated you are to have accomplished reaching the summit. Doesn’t the idea of trusting God to give you these feelings in everyday life make sense?
Don’t you want to trust Someone who will never let you down… Someone who will never let you fall? Don’t you want to trust someone who will always be there, day after month after year? Don’t you want to trust Someone who has the power and strength to, literally, move mountains… yet has the love, grace, mercy and compassion to treat us with the gentleness of an adoring father each and every day? Don’t you want to live in a way that you feel the “wind of God’s love” blow across your face?
We can have all of this, and more… God IS our mighty rock… and He is waiting for us to trust Him. I’m ready – are you?
