DCLM Higher Everyday 17 January 2024 — Rock Of Ages
Topic: Rock Of Ages
Text: Psalms 95:1-11
1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
Key Verse: “For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods” (Psalm 95:3).
Message
The Lord God is the Creator of the universe and all its constituents. He is above all. He only is the Object of worship. Jesus Christ His son is the central message of the gospel. He is the solid Rock, infallible and invincible; the Rock of Ages. He is dependable in all situations regardless of place or time. He provides succour to the brokenhearted and gives guidance to the confused. A rock is very strong and can be broken. Storms cannot make to collapse, neither can flood. Jesus is the spiritual Rock and represents strength, indefatigability and infallibility. He provides shelter for those who run to Him through genuine repentance.
Sadly, some youths today are rejecting His Lordship. Jesus is all the world needs, today. For all who come to Him amid the calamity and confusion in our world will find salvation, succour and help. If you fall on Him, the Rock of Ages, you will experience great peace of mind and protection from all alarm. Surrender to Him, today.
Quote He is the solid Rock
Challenge: Christ represents strength and infallibility.
Prayer for today: Help me, Lord, to be secure in you.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
