The Lord is My ROCK
He is unshakeable- you can build your foundation on Him

Consider getting a flat tire- you have to rely on the jack- trust and have faith that it will provide the strength that you don’t have. The jack will lift the car, and then you are able to do your work to change the tire. You change the tire and continue your journey.
We are all on our journeys. We forget that the help we need to fulfill and complete our journey is God. Though we can look at the jack and consider that little thing is going to lift the car, but we don’t have faith that God is going to lift us up and help when we need Him.

Jesus knew that we could have faith.
He knew to trust His Father. He could have taken Himself off the cross, but He trusted in God, His Father, that He could do way beyond what He could ask or think.

We don’t put any where as much trust and hope in God as we do in the help of others or things.

The Bible is a testimony of those who put their trust in God and would not be shaken.

When David wrote Ps 18:2, he did not have it easy. He had a price on his head. But he knew His God.

God has a purpose for you and He will help you get through your journey. He is always there for you.

Psa 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

You have to get yourself in the position where there are no human resources. The Lord desires that you understand that you have not depended upon His Holy Spirit.

It is NOTby might,
power,
human effort,
control,
manipulation,
but by MY SPIRIT SAITH THE LORD.

We need to learn to trust the Holy Spirit in our lives.
There are times when we are in situations that look eternally unresolved-able, but God will be our strength and the Holy Spirit will do the things that we can’t .

GOD IS OUR STRENGTH-
He will meet our needs when we need it.

It is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord.

In this day and age, there are going to be times that we will need to have the strength to go through the very difficult situations, to keep our minds focused.
It is time this morning that we realize that even our own breath is breathed by God.

God is OUR STRENGTH. Don’t wait until you need Him. Realize it this moment. He is your fortress, strength, your buckler (a buckler is a small shield used in fighting).

God will come to our defense. He is our buckler and in the battle it is the buckler that gets all the pressure and pain.

HE IS MY GOD.

Take PSALM 18 verse 2- Apply it today:
Psa 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.


God has to be your God.
He has to be your Rock.
He has to be your Fortress.
The Horn of your Salvation- the crown has horns, representing strength and salvation.
He is the Sovereignty of my Salvation and no one else can take it away from you.

Put your trust in God.
