The Place I Can Always Go

One sometimes wonders if there's a place you can go that will never disappoint. In this world we live in, everything seems like sand, always shifting, changing, disappointing. People and circumstances deceive us. But if there was just one place I could always go ...

"Lord, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced. Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go." - Psalm 71:1, 3

I read this just the other day. In a place surrounded by change, there is one place I can always go, and that is to the Rock of refuge, the Rock of ages, the Lord. I think of Peggy's Cove when I hear the term rock. Peggy's Cove (see picture above) is this beautiful place near us, a big bed of rocks on the water. It's hard to explain, but there's hundreds, probably thousands of these thick, immobile rocks. A big lighthouse stands atop it. The waters splash and wash over these rocks, but they never move. They're always the same.

So when people change and circumstances deceive and the world disappoints, remember that there's one place you can always go. To the Rock.
