Today's Verse: Isaiah 26:4

Thursday, October 6, 1966

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal.
— Isaiah 26:4

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When we see mountains, we can feel small and insignificant by comparison. We know they are not only much more massive than we are, but also have existed much longer than we have. The Lord, however, was and is and will be present far longer than any mountain (Revelation 1:8; Isaiah 41:4). The Lord is the only true rock of security and stability, our fortress in the middle of life's chaos (2 Samuel 22:2). All the forevers we have in our existence are found in him alone! So, we join with Isaiah and encourage each other with these words of everlasting truth:
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal.

My Prayer...

Eternal God, you are the great I Am, the one who is and was and will be forever. We trust that you are and will always be our God, our Redeemer, our Savior, our Shepherd, our strong fortress, our mighty rock, and our eternal Father. We commit all our tomorrows to you, knowing you will be present and faithful and gracious to us as your children. In the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord, we pray. Amen.
