Devotion on Christian Living, Comparison, Proverbs 14:30. 2 pages.

A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot (Proverbs 14:30).

I look in the mirror. My two-year-old is crying in the background because we ran out of his favorite cereal. I cannot remember the last time I took a shower, and I just realized that I am out of the main ingredient to make dinner tonight. Sound familiar? How does God get you through these times?

Devotion on Relationship with God, Trust, Psalm 91:1–2. 2 pages.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust”
(Psalm 91:1–2).

There is an even greater need for shelter and protection than physical shelter. It is the protection of our faith in our redeeming Lord and Savior. Our world is full of evil and sin, which is attacking us every day on every side seeking to lure us away from God.

Devotion on Comfort and Hope, Psalm 71:1–3. 2 pages.

In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress (Psalm 71:1–3).

When we ask for a rock of safety, we are asking God to protect us, to give us a special place we can go where we will not be afraid.

Devotion on Relationship with God, 2 Samuel 22:2–3. 1 page.

And he (David) said, “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou savest me from violence (2 Samuel 22:2–3 KJV).

What is “bedrock”? Webster defines it as the solid rock, underlying soil, or the base, bottom or foundation. When we think of God as our rock, we do not throw Him aside, but we do as David did. He looked at God as his bedrock, the One he held on to in victory or in trials and testing in his life. The Lord is his firm foundation.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Psalm 33:22. 2 pages.

May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you (Psalm 33:22 NIV).

Some translations offer “steadfast mercy” instead of “unfailing love” in this passage. What a delightful picture: God’s immovable, unchangeable, reliable, merciful regard for us as His children. The questions "What is God’s love?", "How sure is God’s love?", and "In what do we have hope?" are covered in this devotion.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Psalm 62:1–2. 1 page.

For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken (Psalm 62:1–2).

I pick up rocks almost every place we travel as visual reminders of an exceptional event. As I look at my collection of rocks, they continually remind me of the many Psalms that speak of God as our Rock and Fortress.

Devotion on Trust, Relationships with God, Isaiah 51:1–2. 1 page.

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him” (Isaiah 51:1–2).

We, like the people in Isaiah’s day, try to live right and follow the Lord, but because we are sinners, we neither live right nor follow the Lord on our own. That is why we need to look to the Rock — our Rock of Salvation, Jesus Christ, for strength and reassurance.
