He Lives, Blessed be Our Rock

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do. (Matthew 14:12-14) I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, bereaved, and helpless]; I will come [back] to you. After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. On that day [when that time comes] you will know for yourselves that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him]. (Matthew 14:18-20) As for God, His way is blameless.

The word of the LORD is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];

He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God, but the LORD?

Or who is a rock, except our God,

The God who encircles me with strength. The LORD lives, blessed be my rock;

And may the God of my salvation be exalted. (Psalm 18:30-31,46) .

On God my salvation and my glory rest;

He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.  

Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before Him.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

(Psalm 6:7-8) For everyone who keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened. (Luke 11:10) Pray with a childlike confidence. For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you. (Mark 11:24)
