God is my .... (Psalms 60-62 / Romans 5)

Psalms 60-62 speak of God as being a rock, refuge, or fortress in whom we can put our full trust in. David's passion is to have God on his and his nation's side in all things (Ps. 60). We should have the same aim for our own lives! David also wanted God to establish him in his earthly position and he asks for this honor (61:6-7). Do we ask God to establish us within our own areas of employment? David ends by saying God is loving and that God is strong (62:11-12) while also implying that God is a righteous judge. Take some time to tell God what He means to you. You may want to make up your own metaphor as David did (ex. God is my rock).

Romans 5:20 is a powerful statement - that "where sin increased, grace increased all the more." Christ triumphs sin and the power of the grave (death) for and in each of our lives! Because of our justification through Christ, we can know what it truly means to have peace with God (5:1).
