DEVOTIONALS

“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold”. Psalm 18:2 In the Bible, the rock is a symbol of strength, stability, and faith, and God is often referred to as “The Rock”, underscoring His reliability and eternal nature.   Rocks are natural objects that can weather storms and endure the passage of time also giving us what we need. This makes them a fitting metaphor for God's

The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock! May the God of my salvation be exalted! Psalm 18:46  same*vs repeated in 2 Samuel 22:47   Amazingly, whether David was at a high or low point in his life, he stopped to praise God and gave thanks.  His example is so powerful!  He experienced dimensions of joy and grief that may or may never touch our lives, but somehow his praise to God is still relatable. The same feelings of being overwhelmed, surrounded, and at the mercy of our enemies –

The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” 1 Samuel 17:37 Saul tried to make David wear his military outfit but that could not work!  David’s story has been told endlessly but still remains significant today!  When you wear someone else’s gear, you will certainly feel uncomfortable or even awkward!  It does not fit well because it wasn’t made to fit you!  Giant Goliath appeared huge in appearance and intimidating but

“Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans,” Jonathan said to his armor bearer. “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!” 1 Samuel 14:6 God desires the best for us as we walk in obedience.  While searching for his father’s donkeys, Saul encountered prophet Samuel who anointed him as directed by the Lord.  Unfortunately, on his first appointment Saul disobeyed.  He took on the role to
