This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Our Rock and Refuge.
Psalm 71:3 (BSB):"Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress."
The psalmist is not hoping in shifting circumstances or human strength—he is crying out to God as his rock. A rock does not move. A fortress does not fail. This is the language of absolute security.
Notice the confidence: “where I can always go.” Not sometimes. Not when we feel worthy. Always. This is grounded in who God is—unchanging, faithful, and sovereign.
But the psalm also says, “Give the command to save me.” Salvation belongs to the Lord alone. It is not earned, not achieved—God speaks, and He saves. This points us directly to Jesus Christ, the ultimate Rock (1 Corinthians 10:4), who secures salvation by His finished work on the cross.
In a world of instability, there is only one true refuge. Everything else will fail—health, wealth, people, even our own strength. But God remains.
So run to Him. Not occasionally, but continually. Trust not in yourself, but in the One who is your rock and your fortress.
That's it for this podcast.Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
