He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. – Psalm 62:6
Have you looked through the self help section of your local bookstore or library lately? Between the books on leadership, cleaning, investing, dieting, construction, education, psychology and parenting, surely we have reached the limit on ways to improve ourselves. Sadly no. Human flaws are countless and the solutions seemingly endless. When one method goes out of fashion another quickly takes its place. For disciples of Christ, it ought not to be so.
Charles Spurgeon has been quoted as saying, “Visit many books, but live in the Bible.” Only the Lord’s Word is definitive. Only the Lord’s Spirit grants faith. Only the Lord redeems us from sin.
If we look to Christ and His servants as ambassadors of His will, then we shall find help in our time of need. He only is our rock and salvation.
