5For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. - Psalm 62:5-8
God is my rock. This was the scripture from my morning prayers. I often need to be reminded that God is my rock. Like a solid rock that has lasted for millions of years, God is not going anywhere. I may move frequently. I may change my mind. I may run away from God. But God, the rock, is always there. I can rest and rely on the One who stands ready to receive me at all times.
As we enter into the Lenten season tomorrow, remembering that God is my rock is a good thing. I am so human. Even though I am an ordained minister, I am still human. I make mistakes. I sin. I say, think, and do things I should not. These sins may not be huge compared to some sins committed in this world. But, they are sins, none-the-less.
Tomorrow, as I pause in prayer before the Lord, I will pour out my heart to God. I will find my refuge in God. I will offer God my heart again. And, as I spend the next 6 weeks preparing for Easter, I will seek out the One who offers me unconditional love and forgiveness.
