I love you, God— you make me strong.
God is Bedrock under my feet,
The Castle in which I live,
My Rescuing Knight.
My God—the High Crag
Where I run for dear life,
Hiding behind the boulders,
Safe in the granite hideout.
~Psalm 18:1&2~
from The Message
I’m so thankful for that God is always all we need Him to be. May we run to Him for dear life! Blessings, friends!
This week I’m linking up with Word-filled Wednesday, Still Saturday, Fresh Brewed Sundays, Scripture and a Snapshot, and The Sunday Community.
**Photo backstory: I snapped this iPhone pic of the historic lighthouse in the middle of the Hudson River. Then I ran my photo through Pixlr-o-matic to give the image poster-like qualities.
Beautiful verse and photo. Thanks for brightening my morning!
I’m always happy to see you here, Keiki!
What an amazing quote. So so so very true.
You always spot my favorites, Juju. Thanks for stopping by
Love it, for a moment I thought I was seeing the poet in you (but the fact you caught the poem counts even if you didn’t write it!)
Thanks, Marcia!
Awesomely amazing post.
Same to you, Denise! I always love visiting your blog in the middle of the week.
God, my high tower, my refuge and strength — beautiful and inspiring post
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks, Kathleen. Great article on your site today!
I love this! She is one of my favorite authors, and you did such a beautiful job illustrating this truth.
So glad you like it, Linda Marie. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings!
Awesome post. Thanks so much for linking up with WFW!
I love linking up! Thanks so much, Lisa.
I’ve been running to Him this week–for dear life! He’s the One I can count on to be there every time. You helped me see this verse in a new light.
So glad you can find some inspiration here, Pamela. Visiting your blog was a bright spot in my day–as always. Blessings!
Madeliene L’Engle says it so well. Fantastic photo.
Brings to mind a line in a chorus from a favorite hymn my father (a Methodist minister) would choose:
“On Christ’s solid rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. . . “
Thanks for sharing here, Beth, and for reminding me of another wonderful hymn on your post. Now folks will just have to hop over to your site to see which one! Blessings!
Came over from Deidra’s. I love a little Madeliene in the morning!
Thanks for stopping by, Megan. I enjoyed visiting your site, also. Great Mama Bear poem
Blessings!
I had never read this quote before, but how true! And it’s the perfect verse for a lighthouse picture. Ah, lighthouses.
Yes, there’s something about lighthouses, isn’t there, Kristen? Thanks for taking the time to visit here today. Enjoy the beginning of your school year. Blessings!
A perfect photo for the quote – the image really resonates and drives the message home! I don’t want that rock pulled out from under me – I am so glad He is that rock! Wishing you much blessing this week!
Thanks for sharing here, BCM

Ah, yes, He is the only thing we need even when the props are pulled!

Beautiful photo! I love lighthouses and the photo editing that you did. Great message. (Visiting from The Sunday Community)
Thanks for coming by, Kristine. I’m so glad you shared that encouraging passage on your blog today. Blessings!
After the month we had this verse is extremely appropriate. Thank you for the reminder from Madeliene L Engle.
