Fortified

"...Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
~ Psalm 61:2b ~

We are finite.  HE is infinite.  

We are fallible.  HE is infallible.

We need HIM.  Always.

Recently, we have sought to be a support to

friends who are grieving.

One friend lost her husband suddenly to cancer.

He was relatively young.  In his prime.  It's been a terrible loss.

One day he was fine.  The next he was seriously ill.

And, within three weeks he was taken.  Gone.

What a blessing to know that he knew the LORD.

He not only knew of HIM, he knew HIM in the only way that matters.

HE was his LORD.  His Saviour.  His Righteousness.

What a comfort these things are in times like these.

This precious widow, when asked, requests one thing ~

A verse.  Simply, a verse to reflect on.  A verse to cling to.

Lead me to the Rock!
 In HIM alone is all comfort to be found.
From HIM alone, strength may be gleaned. 

How we need fortification.

Help from on high.  Hope from His Word.
How we need HIM!

Really, her request is to be fortified.  

To be continually directed to the One from Whom all things flow.

Fortified in the Living and True God of Heaven and Earth,
and the Truth found in His Word.
So that her feet will be firm upon the Rock, Christ Jesus.

Aren't we all like this?

Do we not all need HIM?

We have been created this way.

With this need.  This void that needs filling.

He alone satisfies.  He alone gives all that is required.
He alone gives the peace that passes all understanding.

How precious it is that He promises to give all we need.
Moment by moment.  Day after day.

And, so much more!!

Many Blessings,
Camille
