God, Our Rock!

For Friday, May 6, 2022:

Psalm 102:2a NLT: “Lord, don’t turn away from me in my time of distress.”

God is our anchor, our unchanging rock. He made mankind in his image, and declared that his efforts were “very good!” Words aren’t adequate to describe God’s love for us, but the Bible we grew up with calls it “everlasting lovingkindness.”

Think of God as the sun, and mankind as our planet. Every day we say the sun sets, but in fact the sun is right where it’s always been. It’s the planet that moved, rotated away from the sun. And like the sun, God is still right where he’s always been. It’s mankind that has turned away from the Lord, put God on the back burner, so to speak. John the Baptist heralded hope to a damaged world. He taught that the acceptable thing to do is to repent and return to the Lord, for the kingdom is at hand!

The Kingdom may be closer than we think!
