Thoughts…
Trust in God and Him alone. He is like a fortress in that He protects against all who are hostile. People will fail (the Hebrew text reads, “Humans are worthless [as an object of trust]; people are a lie”). Riches are no security (HCBC Commentary).
These verses always remind me of the song by Chumbawamba, “I get knocked down, but I get up again.” You see trials and troubles will come into our lives. We have a focus of stability, a place of security and stability to run. God provides us a fortress of solitude, like Superman. The best part is when the storms come, and they will, we will not slip, fall, totter, stagger, be shaken, be moved, be toppled, or be brought down. God is our rock and fortress. No storm can EVER take Him down. So go find some rest in Him and let the storm rage on.
Like a lighthouse standing tall in the middle of a raging storm, I will be firm because I am placed on the ROCK!
