—2 Samuel 22:47-51
by: Matthew Berg.
David used the metaphor of a rock to describe God at both the beginning and ending of this song—the “Rock of Ages, cleft for me,” as the old song goes. David’s expressions of sovereign protection from the Holy One give us all pause to stand in awe of the God we serve. He is a Rock—a solid place in the midst of turbulent storms raging all around us. But unless we stand on the Rock, it does not help us a bit. No matter what situation you may be struggling with today, place your trust in God, our Rock, who will see you through.
