The Lord is my rock

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
³     my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield^[a] and the horn^[b] of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
    from violent people you save me.

⁴ “I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
    and have been saved from my enemies.
⁵ The waves of death swirled about me;
    the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁶ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

David sings this song which confirms everything we had discussed! David does not rely on human judgment or is affected by it. For he knows:

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.: my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

For His victory on Israel is not based on His own strength but his victory was based on God's strength. All his victory was not based on His works but was based on God's grace. God desides his fate, not people.

When we view life, our achievements our problems. Do we credit God when we achieve? Do we look to Him when we have problems? God is God, He is the giver of life and has the final word. Because if He wants to take it away, He would. There is no doubt about that. So, the question is do we share the same view as David? I pray that i always recognize that He is Lord and not be upset over anything because He is in control. And praise Him in all the days and in all the ways.
