Equipped by the Rock

"For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? — the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless." -Psalm 18:31–32 

Most days, it is tremendously helpful to be reminded of just who God is. We might think he is a taskmaster or grumpy old man. But in fact, he is a place of refuge for us, security and strength. In Christ, we are equipped by this rock for life. 

The Spirit comforts and teaches us, equipping us to take on what crosses our path, and no matter what, because of blood of Christ, we will be presented blameless before the throne of God. 

This changes everything. I don't have to muster the courage to face difficulty; it is a gift from the Rock of Ages. I don't have to generate the stamina to war against sin and live a Gospel-formed humility; it is granted to me by the one who lends strength and keeps me blameless. 

What does this truth of God mean for you today? Live in it, know who he is, know what he says of you and does for you. You are blameless in Christ and equipped for all that he has purposed for you to do.
