Devotions For Lent – Day 26

Redemption Rock

“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
(Isaiah 26:4)

Read Psalm 46.

In Princeton, Massachusetts, you’ll find Redemption Rock. At this site in 1676, the release of a minister’s wife from her native captors was negotiated atop the rock. Long before that moment, our redemption was secured upon the Rock, Jesus. The anchor of our hope is securely fixed on Him. Reflect and give Him praise through the words of the hymn, “Rock of Ages.”

“Rock of Ages, cleft for me — Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood — From Thy riven side which flowed.
Be of sin the double cure — Cleanse me from its guilt and power.”

Take a moment to pick up a rock small enough to carry with you. Let it remind you of the times that Jesus is your Rock and make note of those times.

Prayer Starter:
Jesus, You are my eternal Rock. My hope is fixed on You. I need to remember this right now in . . .
