My Strong Rock

" Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily; be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me."  Psalms 31:2

No sorrow of men is so deep and dark and bitter as to be without refuge, a rock, a safe retreat.  My soul, however deep thy sorrow, however dark thy sin, however hopeless thy lot among men, the Man of Sorrows bore thy sin in His own body on the tree. He carried all thy grief.  He is thy "STRONG ROCK."  A strong, safe house, in which I am defended from myself, the world, the devil.

"Rock of ages, cleft for

Let me hide myself in Thee."

Amen.
