I was alone on the shore of the ocean. The waves were pounding upon my back. I tried to stand but they were strong. My face was in the sand.  I stood and tried to run but my feet buried deep as the water pulled. The waves continued to beat. I cried for help. I cried out to God. I began to see a Rock behind me. It was big and tall and wide, able to stand and endure the beating surf.  I leaned against it and then I felt His arms. As the next wave crashed over the rock, Jesus said to me, “The punishment that brought you peace was upon Me”.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; It is God’s gift.

2 Samuel 22:31-32 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
