(Photo by Bruce E. Ring)I wonder how many times I have walked this beach and seen 'my rock'. I wonder how many times while at Ecola Hall, I would run down to the beach just to get a glimpes of my rock, my visual, constant reminder that God was my Rock and Refuge. I wonder how many prayers, and tears were shed while sitting on the beach, looking at my rock.
My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is in Him.
He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Stronghold;
I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The Rock of my strength, my Refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a Refuge for us. Psalms 62.5-8
I wonder how many times over the years I have read these verses for strength and encouragement, wishing I could go sit at the beach and look at my rock, and pray to my Refuge and Strength. How I wish I was there now.
And I've been there right along side you..my rock/Rock too my life long.
ReplyDeleteTruly an 'icon' of our faith, isn't it?
I love you. Sandy footprints.
ReplyDeletePsalm 62 has always been very personal for me. I love the Christian song from the 80's...My Saviour, My stronghold, I shall not be afraid anymore....My Saviour, My Stronghold, I shall not be moved.
ReplyDeleteMy DD was head of a Christian youth week-end when she was 17, and this was her theme. So once again your post meant a lot to me!
I remember that song, a good one!
