The Bible is the FOUNDATION for life.

 

King David understood a vital principle. Ultimately, it is God who protects His people.

 

PSALM 62:1-2, 5-8, 11

Truly my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be greatly moved.

My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;
I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

 

David encouraged the people of Israel to put their trust in God who is greater than all enemies. That truth that has been demonstrated numerous times since Israel was reborn in 1948.

Through three wars of survival subsequent to the nation’s rebirth, God has proven Himself to be the faithful Defender of Israel.
