God Our Rock, Our Loving Ally

Praise the Lord, who is my rock.
He trains my hands for war
and gives my fingers skill for battle.
He is my loving ally and my fortress,
my tower of safety, my rescuer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.
He makes the nations submit to me.

(Psalm 144:1-2 NLT)

I just love the descriptions used in the book of psalms to describe who God is, don't you? Take into consideration this passage of scripture from Psalm 144. God is my Rock - that means he isn't moving and he isn't changing. He is firmly set and grounded in who He is. Nothing can change that. He is our loving ally. If God is on our side (and he is) then who can stand against us? No one. Yes, that's right, no one. We've got God on our side and there is nothing more powerful than Him. He is our fortress and our tower of safety. He provides for us a protection from our enemies. He covers us with his mighty shield. We can take refuge in him. We can find rest in him. He will cover us from the storm and hide us from our enemies. He provides shelter for his children. He rescues us out of the muck and the mire and sets our feet upon his solid rock, his immovable fortress of strength and power. How awesome is that! How awesome is our God! How great is our God! Come on... you know you want to sing it!
