He is also the rock that takes down giants.\u00a0 He is the rock that can be thrown into any circumstance I am facing and slay the enemy.  Like a rock that can be thrown, He is also a weapon.          <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\" \n             data-id=\"rmwr-69e88d62d1c8e\"\n             data-mode=\"normal\"\n             data-animation=\"fade\"\n             data-duration=\"300\"\n             data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\n             data-scroll-offset=\"0\">\n            <button \n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"read-link\" \n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-69e88d62d1c8e\"\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-69e88d62d1c8e\"\n                aria-label=\"Read More\"\n            >\n                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\n            <\/button>\n            <div \n                class=\"read_div\" \n                id=\"readrmwr-69e88d62d1c8e\"\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                data-animation=\"fade\"\n                data-duration=\"300\"\n                style=\"display: none;\"\n            >\n                <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the backwoods of the Northeast Kingdom, my grandfather owned some rustic property.  He built a primitive shack there which we called &#8216;camp.&#8217;  No running water, electricity, or conveniences, it was to remind us to slow down, take some deep breaths, and for the time we were there to cultivate a simpler lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front field of that property was home to a huge boulder.  He named it &#8220;Prayer Rock.&#8221;  As children and teens, we couldn&#8217;t wait to park the car and run to &#8216;prayer rock.&#8217;  We would climb it, perch on it, relax in the breathtaking views, it was our greatest affection at camp.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think God must be so delighted when we run to Him, with such great affection knowing that He as our Rock is always ready, eager to receive us.  He wants us to climb up, sit for a while. see what He sees, and relax.  He will provide, protect and be there for us, for eternity.  Thank You our loving Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Give your burdens to the LORD, and He will take care of you.
