Devotion: Trust In The Rock
Trust In the Rock
2 Samuel 22: 1 - 3 (KJV) "And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: 2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3 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 saviour; thou savest me from violence."
King David, no Christian can imagine exactly how great satan attacked him. One reason is this, because David was not only King of the Jews, but because David was the blood line from which Jesus, the Messiah would be born. We must understand that satan tempted King David with everything that one could imagine. Even King David with all his power and might, he had only one power by which satan could be stopped and that was PRAYER and FAITH in GOD!
King David's rock, his fortress, his shield was not in his power, but it was in GOD! King David did not trust in his own power as a King, but he trusted in the Power of the King of Kings and the Lord of all Lords. King DavidÔÇÖs foundation was the Rock on which his royal palace was built, but it was built on the Lord JESUS CHRIST!
Are you fighting a battle today with satan? If so, look to Jesus, because He is our deliverer! King David, with all his trials and temptations, trusted in the Rock, we too must trust in the Rock!

1 Timothy 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
