"The son said, Every day my enemy seeketh my soul to destroy it; Oh God, my Saviour, overlook me not.
His Father said, Saul sought David every day, but I did not deliver him into his hands. I will not overlook thee. Am I not mightier than ten thousand Sauls?
And the son remembered the words, They that be with us are more than they that be with them. There is a greater with us than with him. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. And he said, The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer, even mine."

"O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).
"Be Thou to me a rock of strength, a stronghold to save me. For Thou art my rock and my fortress;" (Psalm 31: 2 - 3).
What does it mean to you that God is your rock and fortress? You may comment anonymously.

I think of Matthew 7:24 - 27, the parable sometimes called "The Two Foundations." If I build my life upon the rock, the foundation of the truth of God, then in the end, no matter what else happens, I will receive my eternal inheritance with the Lord. As Susan wrote in an earlier posting, "God is able to keep me from falling and to make me stand in His presence blameless and with great joy" Jude 24. As it states in Matthew 7:24 - 25, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house, and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock."
