My Rock by James Michael The
Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, my God, my rock
in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation,
my stronghold. Psalm 18 verse 2 Do rocks defend me from blasts
from whatever quarter they blow? So does my rock. Is the blast
from hell? He has the keys of hell and of
death. Is it from sin? He is my righteousness. Is it from Satan? He has conquered
principalities and powers. Is it from afflictions? He is
my sympathizing and loving High Priest. Is it from losses? He is my exceeding great reward. Is it from crosses? He makes
all things work together for good to His people. Is it from
anguish? He is my joy. Is it from darkness? He is my sun. Is it from doubts? He is my counselor. Is it from
deadness? He is my life. Is it from enemies? He is my shield. Is it from temptation? He is my deliverer. Is it from
false friends? He will never leave me, nor forsake
me. Is it from solitude? He is everywhere
present. Is it from disease? He is my
healer. Is it from death? He is the resurrection
and the life. O glorious refuge! O sure defense! O everlasting fortress! Here do I defy the worst that
earth and hell can do. Henceforth will I live by faith
in the Man who is my hiding-place from the wind, my shelter from
the tempest, my stream of water in a dry place, my shadow of
a great rock in a weary land, until every blast has blown over
and not a threatening cloud appears in my sky. Until my heaven is
beautified with everlasting day, And every storm is swept from
the air which I breathe. And a man shall be as a hiding-place
from the wind, And a shelter from the tempest, Like streams
of water in a dry place, Like the shadow of a great rock in
a weary land. Isaiah 32 verse 2 This Puritan devotional has been
