“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” – Psalm 18:2 (ESV)
Life is unpredictable. From one moment to the next, we never know exactly which way our paths will turn… But thankfully, God does. Instead of clinging to the constantly moving targets of this world, when we anchor ourselves firmly to our Rock, we gain His strength, His stability and His peace.

I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
As Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us, for all things in this life there is a season... "2 A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to collect the harvest; 3 A time to kill, a time to heal; a time to tear down, a time to build up;...

The lyrics speak to the overwhelming love of our Heavenly Father for His beloved children... And this video gives a powerful example of a similar sacrificial love we see here on earth...
Sometimes it’s easier to write about leaning on God than actually doing it. But I’m so thankful that I can cling to God – He is my stability in this ever changing world. Great verse for today, Phil. 🙂
Love this verse!
Phil,
I learned something this last year, that we can worry and do all these other things that we think are actually doing some good, but God has got it covered, He knows what is up ahead and we don’t, that is why He tells us not worry. I read on a different blog somewhere that when we get above our problems and look at them from the view that Jesus has, we realize how small indeed they actually are.
Blessings to you Phil.
So grateful that He has it all under control!
joy & blessings,
