The Holy Lord, Our Rock

 We all need help. We have so many challenges in our lives. We can't make it on our own intellect and in our own strength. We look for other people to help us, and that is great. God wants us to help each other. However, God is the Only One who is always there to do the right thing and to be the foundation for our lives to be secure.

Hannah, Samuel's mother, found out this truth by her experience with the Lord. She prayed for a son, and God granted her request. Then, she worshiped the Lord from her heart. (I Samuel 2:2) She declared that there is one one holy like the Lord, in fact, there is no one besides the Lord, nor is there any rock like our God. Hannah found out what we all need to learn.

God is holy. He always does the right thing, and He never does the wrong thing. That is why we must depend on Him for everything, instead of solely depending on people for help. People will lead us astray sometimes, but God shows us the right way every time. We must look to Him, knowing there is no one besides Him who is perfectly holy and all-powerful.

Also, He is the only Rock upon which we can build our lives and be secure. He is the Rock of Ages. He is the Eternal God, who never changes. He is steadfast, and when we know Him and build our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ, nothing and no one can shake us. He is the One we need every hour of every day.
