\n

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him cometh my salvation.
\nHe only is my Rock and my Salvation;
\nHe is my Defense; I shall not be greatly moved…
\nPsalm 62: 1-2<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let me take you back to Exodus 33<\/a>….<\/p>\n

It came to pass when Moses entered went out into the tabernacle
\nthe cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle
\nand the Lord talked with Moses.
\nVerse 9 KJV<\/p>\n

(I strongly urge you to read through the conversation<\/a> between God and Moses). My concentration is on THE ROCK and SALVATION.\u00a0 What is the type of Rock and Salvation being talked here?\u00a0 If we combine Psalm 62 and Exodus 33, it equals Isaiah 53.<\/p>\n

In Exodus 33 God was telling Moses that He would put Moses under a cleft (the back and the sides of the hands but the front God will cover with the arm). Let us imagine—how big is the arm of God? \u00a0Who is this Arm? \u00a0Isaiah 53 explains the Arm of God…it is JESUS.<\/p>\n

So as long as we are in Christ Jesus we will be covered.\u00a0 He is the solid Rock\u2014nothing can harm us.\u00a0 We are protected. He is our salvation.\u00a0 He died for our sins only to be served when He rose again for it was for our righteousness.\u00a0 Death alone was for our salvation; if He had not risen, then there would have been no righteousness being imputed for us. \u00a0He rose for our righteousness.\u00a0 We should count ourselves blessed for the Blood that was shed was for our good.\u00a0 We should be thanking God for His love for us. Today we walk freely for Someone paid the price and saved us; and we are defended at all angles.<\/p>\n

Look back and think how many times we can say the Rock covered us. I see many prayer requests (and praises thereafter) in the GCH Fellowship group. \u00a0Who takes us through those times? \u00a0It is this Arm and Rock!\u00a0 Let us embrace this Arm with all our hearts.\u00a0 Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father but only through Him. \u00a0That is why in Exodus 33 when Moses was insisting that he wanted to see God face to face, God told him that he could not see God;\u00a0that He would put\u00a0Moses in a Rock (Jesus) and cover\u00a0him with His Arm (same Jesus) and that He would pass by\u00a0Moses and\u00a0he would only see\u00a0God’s back. God was protecting Moses since once Moses had seen His face he could have died for no one has ever seen the face of God. \u00a0That is why God said to Moses “you will be covered by the rock at your back and in front there will be my arm.”\u00a0 We are at liberty to interact with Jesus for Him to cover and protect us completely and all around — 360 degrees.<\/p>\n

Father God, we thank You for Your goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives. We appreciate Your presence in our lives\u2014the Rock and the Arm that saved us from all un-righteousness. \u00a0In Jesus name, I pray. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
