Lead Me to the Rock


Curecanti NeedleColorado Rocky Mountains



Words of praise from the 61st Psalm:
Dear God, you are my...

Rock
Refuge
Tower
Tent


My wings
Eagle’s wings that shield me
Eagle’s wings that lift me up


Proverbs declares: Whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. (29:25b)

So, why am I so inclined to measure my security at the bank, or the office, or even at home?

You, Father, are my first line of defense. My security is in your abiding presence - through your love, through Jesus’ forgiveness, through the Spirit’s power.

As King David prayed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge. Amen.
