During the trip to Israel, our group reflected on some of the metaphors and descriptions of God. As the Old Testament was written in Israel, the writers often drew on their surroundings as they wrote about their faith in God. For example, we thought of Psalm 18:1–2, where David refers to God as his rock and stronghold. Masada may have been such a stronghold for David when he was being chased by King Saul.
All of us experience times of trial and struggle. The pain and stress may seem unbearable until we remind ourselves that we have an unchanging and unchangeable Rock in our Lord Jesus. So David begins Psalm 18 by stating his love for the Lord, who is his strength. All of the strength we need is found in our Lord. To face life’s challenges and heartaches without our Lord is unthinkable to those who follow Jesus. So today, draw from His strength and inexhaustible grace! He never fails.
