And you will sing as on the night you celebrate a holy festival; your hearts will rejoice as when people playing pipes go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel. (Isaiah 30:29)
I have a sense of being filled with the Rock. Do you?
I love you, Lord, my strength. 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. (Psalms 18:1,2)
"My God is my Rock"!
As I grow older, I am relying more each day on the strength of Christ.
There is something else, though. I believe the Spirit is saying that the future in America will be chaotic, both morally, and as a result, physically.
I realize that none of us will be able to stand in our own strength.
This may come across to you as a truism, something you have heard in church all your life. But to me it is very real at this time.
I suppose many of us are trusting in money to keep us secure in our old age. Perhaps we have a retirement plan. But what good will that do us if we have kidney failure, or become blind, or develop terminal cancer?
What good will our money do us if our only child murders someone, or our daughter goes to live with her lesbian friend?
What if our wife, or husband, or child is run over by a car and dies?
No, money cannot save us from numerous disasters, even though in our Antichrist society we are taught that it can.
