Messiah: My Merciful Mentor


2 Samuel 22:2-3
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Jesus is ready and available and willing to help us at anytime, if we are but  worthy and solicit His divine assistance. He is our personal guide, confidant, and friend. He is my:
  1. Rock-I can build upon His teachings and make Him the Rock foundation of my life.
  2. Fortress-He surrounds me and protects me from the wiles of mine enemy, satan and his followers. He gives me strength and power to resist evil and to do right.
  3. Deliver-He delivers me from sadness and sorrow when I am experiencing life in the low valley. He delivers me from evil and corruption, from mediocrity and failure when I look to Him.
  4. Shield-He is the protective armour that protects my heart from hatred and anger. He keeps dishonorable and sinful thoughts and temptations from creeping into my soul and staying there when I discipline myself to turn my thoughts and feelings to Him.
  5. The Horn of my Salvation-His voice sounds out softly and loudly like a trumpet. It is up to me to determine the pitch of His voice. If I am humble and meeking, then His voice is soft and mile. If I am hard and proud, then His voice needs to get loud before I will hear Him and abide by His voice of warning.
  6. High Tower-I must look up to Him in all things, for He is at the top while I dwell at the bottom.
  7. Refuge-He calms me from the storms of life and gives me peace and serenity.
  8. Savior-He is my and everyone’s personal Savior. He is the only one who can atone for the sins of the world and see that everyone receives a just and righteous judgment.
Jesus is everything to us. I need to praise and obey Him with my our heart, for He is My Merciful Mentor.

Jesus: Our Lord and Savior


Psalms 144:1-2
1 Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is everything good to us. Everything that leadeth to do good and believe in Christ, is inspired by the Spirit of Christ. Jesus is my:
  1. Strength
  2. Goodness
  3. Fortress
  4. High tower
  5. Deliverer
  6. Shield
Jesus is my strength, for He giveth me talent and skill. Jesus is my goodness, for he strives to mold me, like clay,  into a better quality person than yesterday. I am the clay, He is the potter, and He will mold and shape me if I humble myself and permit Him to do the shaping. Jesus is my fortress, for he encircles me about in the arms of His love and security. Jesus is my High Tower, for is the standard for which I must look up to and strive to become. He looketh down upon me and seeks to enter my heart, mind, and soul to sup with me. Jesus is my Deliverer, for it is He that delivers me from challenges, evil, bondage, and satan by empowering me to overcome such circumstances. Jesus is my Shield, for He will give me the mind and spirit and faith to circumvent  all the fiery darts of the adversary.
Jesus is my Savior, and I will put my trust in Him forevermore.

Jesus is my:
  1. Rock
  2. Fortress
  3. Deliverer
  4. Shield
  5. Salvation Horn

  8. Savior
Jesus is the Rock upon which we might build and have a sure foundation, a foundation that never falls or would fail us. He is my Fortress, my stronghold and fortification against sin and temptation, against all the evil wiles ploys of the world. He is my Deliverer, for He delivers me from the world and allows me to find true peace and serenity. He is my Shield, for He protects my heart and mind by withstanding and reversing all evils of the world that try to enter and inflict my soul. He is my Salvation Horn, for salvation is found only in and through His name. He is my High Tower, for I can look up to Him and receive solutions, answers, guidance, and direction for a happy and successful life. He is my Refuge, for in Him is safety, shelter, and defense from danger or trouble. He is my Savior, for He it is who will save me at the end though His love after I have done all that I can do to live a righteous life.
