God is the Rock of our salvation, a firm foundation in the middle of life's shifting sands.
It is Friday! That means two things: The weekend is here AND we get to look at a Psalm! I love today's One Verse. Psalm 95:1 says, "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation." I love going to church on Sundays. Sure, I love hearing a good sermon and being challenged and encouraged in my faith. But what I really love is hearing the entire congregation sing praises to our Savior. It's the closest we get to heaven on this earth. Seriously. Have you ever thought about that before? It's a glimpse of what we will experience in heaven: millions of Jesus followers singing and shouting praises to a worthy Savior. And why is He is worthy? Because of the second part of today's One Verse: He is the Rock of our salvation. When life is unsure and we fill like we are walking on shifting sands, God is the foundation and the Rock that stands firm. When the wind is blowing and the storm is raging around us, we can take comfort and safety near the Rock. I encourage you, this weekend, to do two things. First, find the Rock. Find your safety in God. Grow closer to Him and build your life on HIs solid foundation. And second, go to church and sing His praises with other believers. "Come, luet us sing for joy to the Lord!"
One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
