HEART THAT RELIES ON GOD WHO IS THE ROCK AND SHIELD

April 11 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 2Samuel 22-24

Key Verse – 2Samuel 22:3 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.

HEART THAT RELIES ON GOD WHO IS THE ROCK AND SHIELD Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against sin’s bondage Since He forgives us along our confession’s courage So that we can be revived from guiltiness’ damage Ever sanctified by His pardoning gauge. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against iniquity’s captivity Since He delivers us along our repentance-sincerity So that we can be cleansed from dishonesty Ever purged by His transforming purity. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against doubt’s deception Since He enlightens us along our truth-seeking action So that we can be illumined from evil’s corruption Ever guided by His wise direction. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against trespasses’ heaviness Since He helps us along our admitted weakness So that we can be guarded from wickedness’ filthiness Ever kept by His empowering faithfulness. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against transgressions’ entrapment Since He frees us along our escape-struggles’ predicament So that we can be liberated from worldliness’ involvement Ever led by His heavenly discernment. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against pride’s insistence Since He humbles us along our abased existence So that we can be chastised from hypocrisy’s pretense Ever disciplined by His loving holiness-persistence. Our heart relies on God Who is our rock and shield against slothfulness’ blow Since He drives us along our servanthood-commitment glow So that we can be inspired from laziness’ flow Ever propelled by His sacrifice as we spiritually go and grow.
