When we lived in Nepal, the stores were very small and very specialized. Whenever we went shopping, we would most likely need to go to several stores to get the everyday supplies and groceries that we needed. I remember when I first thought of getting a mobile phone. I wanted to wait until they produced phones that could do everything that I needed. I didn’t want to have to carry a phone, a camera, a walkman, and a game device. I wanted it all in one device.
II Samuel 22:2-3 says, “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 and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.” As our rock, God is strength and security for those who believe. As our shield, God surrounds us with love and protection. As the horn of our salvation, His voice is the powerful announcement of our redemption. As our stronghold and refuge, He is our secure and lofty retreat from our an evil world. As our savior and deliverer, He has freed us from sin’s clutches and given us eternal life. God is everything that we need and He is One, the only God.
