Psalm 18:1, 2 and Rock Formations Palo Duro Canyon, Texas.

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1, 2

King David Declared, “God My Rock”

In the Bible’s Book of Psalm’s King David called God a rock 12 times. A study of the life of David shows that the fact he called God his rock is very significant. David conquered many foes and was a victorious warrior and king, yet this victorious warrior and conquering king called God his rock.

David lived a life filled with courage, strength and fortitude that most man would admire, yet he held to God as his ultimate source. King David knew that to rely on God is not a weakness, but our greatest source of strength.

Psalm 104:2-3 and Sunset Clouds over Palo Duro Canyon, Texas.

“Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, stretching out heaven like a tent curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind.” Psalm 104:2-3

Clothed with a Cloak of Light

In Psalm 104 we find a very poetic description of the God of creation. The writer uses the elegant beauty of a sunset (or sunrise) to describe the wonder of God.

The beauty we see in a sunset sky calls us to the beauty of our God clothed with a cloak of light. John Eldredge says it so wonderfully when he writes in the The Sacred Romance, “The beauty that so captures our hearts and is so fleeting draw us towards an eternal reality.”

There is no greater reality than God.
