Rock of my Strength

As part of my civil engineering undergraduate research project, i was testing soil samples on their compressibility after subjected to water, I came across rocks which could many times "ruin" my studies! In many instances, I would have to specially remove them to ensure an accurate testing of my experiement. Without the rock, indeed the soils samples easily mashed and crumbled when subjected to pressure or even water. This observation made me appreciate the "strength" of the rock which i relentlessy got rid of to achieve success in my research goals.

While I was reading Psalms 62:6-7, we notice David's dependence on God. He proclaimed the strength that he found in God. "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."
He refered to God only to be his rock, a description of something unmoveable, of abundant strength, and reliability. God is also described as his only way of deliverance and victory. He added in verse 7 that his human needs of strength (boldness and courage) and refuge (place of safety and hope) is ( presently even during suffering) in God! Beautifully mentioned in verse 7, David reiterated and emphaised that it is only in God he has deliverance, safety and honor (outcomes of things to happen) as he lives daily during both positive and negative times with God's help.

From these verses, we can see that we have to put God has the rock of our strength! Not out of our own abilities or minds. All talents and skills are blessings from God. We should put God has our key core stone in all things we think, say and do! He is the core foundation, He is the motivation in our hearts and minds! Even during our weakness, lets run to him for safety. So that no pressure or measure of challenges could "mash" us like the weak soil but remain unmoveable as God is our solid rock!
