While praying for family, Holy Spirit showed me a vision of water going into a rock and I knew they were safe in Him.
II Samuel 22:2: “And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;”
HEBREW WORD – THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK – SELA’ סלע
Sela’ is a cleft or an opening made a by a split in the mountain. It was one of the safest places to hide in early times. The word for fortress is matsud which has its origins in the word for a prey and one that is hunted or being chased. The word eventually took on the idea of a fortress for the one being chased will seek a sela’ or a fortress. So the Lord is a sela’ for the matsud that is the Lord is the fortress in the cleft of the rock for those being pursued or hunted.
Then finally God is the Deliverer. The one being hunted or pursued not only finds God to be a fortress in the cleft of the rock or sela’ but He will also deliver you from those that are pursuing you. The word deliverer is palat which is a word that is used for one who helps another person escape from a prison. God not only hides us in the cleft of the rock but when the danger is passed He will lead us out of that secure place into a place of safety.
Song of Solomon 2:14 [ (The Bridegroom) ] “O my dove, [here] in the clefts in the rock, In the sheltered and secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”
PRAYER: Father, you alone are my Strength, my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer and my Shield. Jesus, You revealed the love of God to me and You are my peace. Your Word declares that my enemies will not triumphant over me. When my ways are pleasing to you, Lord, you make my enemies to be at peace with me. Lord, you are my Shepherd who prepares a table of abundance for me in the presence of my enemies, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Deuteronomy 28:7; Psalm 18; Psalm 23:5; Proverbs 16:7

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord
A wonderful Saviour to me
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
Where rivers of pleasure I see
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
And covers me there with his hand
A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord
He taketh my burden away
He holdelth me up and I shall not be moved
He giveth me strength as my day
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
and covers me there with his hand
When clothed in His brightness
Transported I rise
To meet Him in Clouds of the sky
His perfect salvation
His wonderful love
I'll shout with the millions on high
Transported I rise
To meet Him in Clouds of the sky
His perfect salvation
His wonderful love
I'll shout with the millions on high
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
And covers me there with his hand
