God Our Rock

There are hundreds of different names and titles for God throughout Scripture. And since the Psalms were written from various seasons of life, there are many different perspectives of how God acts within those seasons.

Psalm 18 was written at a time when the author, King David, was delivered from his enemies by God.

In this Psalm, David almost immediately calls God his rock—because God was dependable and stable, and there was nothing that could overtake Him. This truth wasn’t just for David, but for everyone who relies on God.

When we belong to God, He is a rock and a fortress in our lives. Everything in this world is constantly shifting, but we belong to a God who never changes. He is our protection from things that seek to harm us.

We belong to a God who is with us and can protect us. Even if we don’t have physical enemies, we can run to God when life gets difficult. That’s why, like David, our response to God should be filled with praise. We need to remember what He's done—so that way we can praise Him for who He is. 

Take some time today to thank God for how He's loved, led, and protected you so far in your life. And if you’re currently in a difficult season, run to God and ask Him for help. He is able and willing to be everything you need!
