God is our strong rock. The rock of ages is Christ himself. Occassion arises in our lives when we need the manifestation of God as a rock in our lives.
What do you do when you are overwhelmed with the battles of life? No matter how strong your conviction may be about the cause you believe in, there comes a time when you become burn out and suddenly feel lonely and tired.
It happened to Marthin Luther in Germany during the years of reformation. Dr. Marthin Luther King Jnr. in 1956 got a phone call at midnight which threatened him and almost made him abandoned his civil rights crusade for truth, righteousness, justice and racial equity. He cried to God for help.
Jesus Christ in one of His last prayers to God wanted the cup to pass Him by. The burden of sin was too much for Him to bear. At that point, He needed divine empowerment.
We too need divine empowerment in time of adversity. When the enemy tends to overtake us with defeat, we need to cry out for God's help. We need Him as a strong rock and a house of defence. Therein lies our safety and sustainance.
P.S.: Text Psalm 31: 1-8
