Under the shelter of the Rock, I am safe
There is a well-known hymn that begins like this:
Although the storm rages all around,
Under the shelter of the Rock I am safe.
If the storm grows stronger, I will not be afraid,
Under the shelter of the Rock I am safe.
What a profound truth! Many storms arise in our lives, but if we remain firm, holding on to Jesus Christ, we will be safe. He is our Rock!
God never promised us a life without difficulties. In fact, while we are in this world, we will go through moments of sadness and struggle. We become ill, we lose people we love, we face financial hardships… there are many battles. But there is something God promised: His presence. He is always with us as the firm and eternal Rock who sustains us.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
- Isaiah 26:4
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
- Psalms 62:1–2
If you love God and have opened your heart to the salvation He gives through Jesus Christ, you can trust in His care for you. In the midst of the problems that threaten you, you can experience peace and tranquility because you know in whom you are secure. Take refuge in God, rely on Him, and you will remain strong and steady in the midst of the storm.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
- Psalms 62:7

Yesterday's Word
Armed with trumpets and jars
When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’
- Judges 7:18
Sometimes God’s calling comes with rather unusual instructions. That’s what happened with Gideon. God chose him to lead the people to victory against the Midianites, but the method to be used trumpets and jars was not a “conventionally warlike” method. However, Gideon obeyed God’s instructions, and in the end, he was victorious.
Therefore, if God has called you to do something for His glory, but you cannot understand the logic of His instructions, trust and obey! The way the Lord works is always the best, He knows the end from the beginning. Obey what He tells you, trust, act in His name, and you will achieve victory for the glory of God.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soulthen I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
- Deuteronomy 11:13–15
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Be Successful with God
Seasons change and time passes. But Christians, who are trees planted in the love of God, have leaves that do not wither and always bear fruit in due season.
God promises that when we are rooted in His love, we can be successful!
They are like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
- Psalm 1:3
Psalm 1:3 brings us a powerful image of a tree firmly rooted in streams of water. This tree symbolizes a blessed and fruitful life.
Just as the tree depends on the water to survive and thrive, we too need God's guidance and spiritual nourishment to grow and flourish. When we connect with God, we become like this tree, able to withstand life's storms because our roots are deeply anchored in faith and God's love.
Yields its fruit in season: This phrase teaches us the importance of patience and trust in God. Just as the tree does not rush the ripening of its fruit, we too should not hurry, but trust that everything will happen at the right time.
Its leaf does not wither: This reflects the constancy of divine blessing in our lives. Even in difficult times, when the leaves of our tree seem to wither, God's presence will sustain us and renew our strength.
Whatever they do prospers: This verse reminds us that when we seek to follow God's path, our efforts are blessed and fruitful. Prosperity here does not only refer to material wealth, but also to a life of meaning, love, and purpose.
Therefore, let us be like this tree by the streams of water, trusting in God's guidance, being patient in our spiritual growth, and confident that, with God's grace, we will prosper in every aspect of our lives.
