Unconquerable

654 - Today's Prime Time Devo comes from 2Sa 22:2 And he said: "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. (2 Sam 22:2,3) David is at peace. His enemies have been defeated and the Lord has put this song in his heart. He seeks to put words that are descriptive of His experience with God down on paper, and let's take a look at them today: Words like rock, fortress, deliverer, strength, shield, horn of salvation, stronghold, refuge, savior. He starts with the Lord as his rock. Not just an ordinary rock but the Hebrew word means a lofty, craggy rock. What does a lofty craggy rock look like? Well it's high and full of sharp edges and nearly impossible to climb. Of course with today's gear and technology and personal grit, a rock climber will seek to conquer these craggy cliffs, but the rock that David describes is the unconquerable God Almighty! Get that picture in your head. Our God, David's God, is unconquerable! Though the devil, the world, and our flesh will seek to conquer us, with God as our rock, we cannot be conquered! When you paced your faith in Christ, He has placed you on the top of the lofty craggy rock and the devil, like any mountain climber, looks at you as if you are something to be conquered, and he will come at you with everything he has. But hold fast to this truth. God is your protection, he is your lofty craggy rock and according to Ro 8:35-39, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Know this. Believe this, and cling to the Rock, which is Jesus Christ. Oh the devil will make assaults (attempted climbs) but he cannot prevail as long as you remain in Christ!
