ROCK OF AGES
“Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress” (Ps. 71:3).
The Christian songs in worship are designed to instruct as well as praise... For in them we teach and admonish one another. By them the Word of Christ can dwell in us richly - Co 3:16.
A familiar song with an important message is "Rock of Ages”
In “Songs of The Church”, it is song #445
Certainly the children of God are to take refuge in God in such a time like this.
Like most of the metaphors applied to God in Scripture, the idea that our Creator is a rock is multifaceted in its meaning.
In addition to informing us of the Lord’s stable, unchanging nature (Deut. 32:4), it also tells us about His strength and ability to safeguard His people, much as stone fortifications provide an excellent refuge from the elements and other dangers.
This, in fact, is how the metaphor of God as a rock is used in today’s passage.
Psalm 71, is an expression of confidence in the ability of our Creator to rescue His people according to the standard of His own righteousness (v. 2).
Because the Lord is true to His promises, He must ultimately save His children from all their enemies (Ex. 23:27; Ps. 41:1–2). Certainly, God often intervenes on our behalf to deliver us from our foes when we fail to ask for His assistance, but that does not mean we should take His protection for granted or believe that we need not go before Him in prayer to ask for His help. He delights to hear us confess our reliance on His mighty hand.
