LEAD ME TO THE ROCK - Pastor Andrew W Roebert

This week I wrote the latest set of notes that I want to send to you today. They are entitled ‘IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK’. I just wanted to remind you that the best place you can be in right now is as close as you can get to the Lord. He has a place for you, close to him, in the cleft of the rock.
Many years ago, during a challenging time in my life, someone gave me this picture. It is a picture of a child in the hand or God. It meant a lot to me at the time, and I knew I had filed it somewhere. I found it, and I wanted to show it to you. I believe that the Lord is our Rock, and He wants to hold you in the cleft of His scarred hands.
