THE LORD IS MY ROCK (Psalm 62:1-6


THE LORD IS MY ROCK (Psalm 62:1-6)
Truly my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly.
5 My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be moved.
Our declaration this month is that we shall hold on to the Rock ages. What is this Rock ages? Who is this Rock of ages? Why should we hold on to Him? Can all the people hold on to Him or is there any qualification that must be met for one to be able to hold on to Him? These are some of the questions we will attempt to proffer answers to this month. Let us consider some of the meaning of rock. Rock could be any consolidated material consisting of more than one mineral and sometimes, organic material e.g. granite or limestone. Rock could be a large mass of mineral material especially an isolated or projected one. In another way, rock could mean a stable, dependable or supportive person or thing especially in times of trouble. The Rock of ages could therefore be nothing but the Lord God Almighty, the one who made the heaven and the earth. The one who led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, from slavery to liberty He is the Rock that cannot be shaken. Jesus Christ is the Rock that never fails. He is the one who can see you through the turbulent water of this world and grant you peace. Surprisingly, he was the same who guided the Israelites through the wilderness to the Promised Land. No wonder He told us in John 16: 33 that we shall find trouble in the world but only in Him we may find peace. He is capable. Let us consider some of the various activities of this Rock of ages as recorded in the bible.
Ex. 17: 6 the rock brought out water for the nation Israel. Are you thirsty of anything good? You will need to hold on to Him for the comforting water of life.
Ex. 33:21-22 the rock created a cleft for Moses to hide as God was passing. There is a place for you to hide in the Rock of ages whenever there is problem so that you may not be consumed by evil.
Num. 20 : 8 the rock can still hear you speak. God commanded Moses to speak to the Rock to produce what was needed for his people at that moment. We could see that the Rock is not an inanimate object but very much alive who can hear and do that which we request of Him.
Dt. 32: 13 the rock brought forth honey to feed the nation Israel when they were not even expecting it. Is it not amazing that rock could produce honey for people to eat? He loves you and understands all your needs.
1 Sam. 23 in the time of the wandering of King David, the rock provided accommodation for him and his men who were with him and shield them from their enemies.
There are several others from the bible but time and space will not permit us to mention them all today but we must know that this Rock of ages is not all what we have enumerated above to everybody, He is to only those who are His and are holding on to Him. Like we read in out passage this morning, David wants us to know that his faith isn't in God plus something else, but in God alone. For us to have the desired blessings form the Rock of ages we must trust in Him alone and not in any other thing or power. Give your life to this Rock of ages and have all your needs met in Him alone. Remain blessed in the Lord.

Boost long-term health with balance training-By Micah Dorfner

Incorporating balance training into your fitness routine can improve exercise performance, and help prevent falls and injuries. “Balance training improves your body’s ability to react quickly to everyday missteps, which, in turn, helps prevent falls,” says  Paul Winey , a Mayo Clinic Health System physician assistant. “Improved performance and injury prevention can also be significantly influenced with balance training during exercise.” Whether you’re standing, kneeling, sitting or squatting, balance refers to the ability to stay upright and steady. Several sensory systems in your body contribute to good balance, explains Winey. Your vision, inner ear and joint receptors provide a sense of where your body is in space. The neuromuscular system synthesizes this information to give you the stability you need to keep your body upright, with your weight evenly distributed. Winey suggests these techniques to incorporate balance activities into your day: Change your base of supp...

10 Biblical Rules for a Happy Marriage

A quick look at the scriptures will show you what true happiness in a marriage really means. Here are just 10 Bible verses that clue us in on how a godly marriage should work: Never bring up mistakes of the past.  Stop criticizing others or it will come back on you.  If you forgive others, you will be forgiven  ( Luke 6:37 ). Neglect the whole world rather than each other.  And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process?  ( Mark 8:36 ) Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled. And don't sin by letting anger gain control over you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry  ( Ephesians 4:26 ). At least once a day, try to say something complimentary to your spouse. Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit  ( Proverbs 15:4 ). Never meet without an affectionate welcome. Kiss me again and again, your love is sweeter than wine  (Song of Solomon 1:2). "F...
