A Rock like a Fortress
in the Utah desert

My Savior – that is Jesus. He is my
rock—the stable, firm and constantly strong presence in my life. It is in Him
that I feel protected and safe. That is just how David expressed his view on
his “savior”—although Jesus was not yet born…and was actually part of David’s
future family. Because of His journey to the Cross, now Jesus is the Hope of
many people. We wait for His return…but we won’t be idle while we wait. Paul
gave the church at Thessalonica a very strong direction—almost a reprimand.
Don’t be idle or associate with those who are.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give
you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all
believers who live idle lives and don't follow the tradition they received from
us. For you know that you ought to imitate us. We were not idle when we were with
you. We never accepted food from anyone without paying for it. We worked hard
day and night so we would not be a burden to any of you. We certainly had the
right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow. 2
Thessalonians 3:6-9.
How about you? Do you find hope in Jesus?
Hope in His return? Do you have the security, protection and promise that Jesus
provides for those who believe in Him?
Prayer ~ Thank You Jesus for the hope that
You give us. Hope in the protection that You provide and hope of a tomorrow
with You forever.
