A wrong belief: “My job/money/spouse/house is my security. That is the only thing keeping me safe from destruction.”
“I love you, Yahweh, my strength. Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.” (Psalms 18:1-3 WEB)
When you think of a rock, do you picture a small rock in your hands? That is not what the original Hebrew word in the passage above means. The word is “sela” which is used to describe a high cliff.
David wrote this psalm when he was fleeing from king Saul who wanted to kill him. He took refuge in the cave of Adullam (Adullam means “refuge”) and lived there with men who were drawn to his leadership.
The psalm shows us David’s thoughts, that even though he was hiding in a physical cave of refuge, he knew that the one truly protecting him was the Lord Yahweh.
He was really seeking refuge in the Lord, not in a cave. We must likewise trust in the Lord Jesus as our source of protection and not place our trust in any physical place or thing.
It does not matter how secure something may seem in the natural. If the Lord is not involved, that refuge is not safe from your enemies.
Do you need refuge from something you are facing in life? Turn away from earthly things and make Jesus your source of protection. He will keep you safe from your enemies.
A new faith declaration: “God is my rock that I fully trust in for protection and victory over all my enemies. Nothing on this earth is safe apart from Him. I am loved and very important to God!”
