The Lord is my rock and my
fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, Psalm
18:2 (NAS)
In the midst
of the recent rioting, I watched young people throwing rocks at policeman.
Their pain was deep for many reasons. The rocks being hurled offered little
hope of relieving pain or solving their problems.
Father, I pray the hurting people of this world will know the security and peace of having their feet set on You, the solid rock. Amen.

I thought
of The Rock of my salvation who offers hope, life and justice for all, the Lord
God who sent His one and only Son to be a sacrifice for our sins. He is my rock
and my hope.
If only
they knew, they would drop their rocks of destruction and exchange them for The
Rock of refuge. They would stand on The Rock and claim His ultimate victory
over the battle of all evil and injustice that has ever befallen anyone. With
feet planted on solid ground, they would look with hope to the future. By His
Spirit, they would find peaceful solutions to the biases that have plagued our great
nation and the world as well. With praise, they would offer up all the glory to
the Lord who gives them strength and endurance for the battle. With eyes on
eternity they would value all people as precious brother and sister heirs to
the kingdom.
Yes, God
alone is our fortress to run to in times of distress. He is our deliverer from
all of the world's injustices. He knows all and sees the absolute truth without
prejudice. His eyes are filled with love equally for us all. He is the rock
that offers healing to our broken world.
Father, I pray the hurting people of this world will know the security and peace of having their feet set on You, the solid rock. Amen.

Bonnie, this is a beautiful devotion. I wish all people could read what you have written here from your heart. They could draw closer to "The Rock" of salvation and perhaps give up their evil ways. The Bible says Satan is the ruler of this earth "for now," but it won't be long before Jesus returns to clear up the sands of dissension and oust him from the earth. God, in His glory, will rule! Amen!
Amen, Evelyn! What a glorious day that will be! Praise God! Amen, again!
