“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge.” – Psalm 18:2
In a shifting world full of instability, betrayal, and brokenness, we long for something solid—something unmoving beneath our feet. That’s why David often declared, Jehovah Sel’i, “The Lord My Rock.”
This name reveals a God who cannot be shaken. When enemies surrounded David, when caves became hiding places, and when his soul was overwhelmed, he clung to the immovable character of God. His rock was not made of stone—it was made of faithfulness.
📜 Word Study
Sel’i (סֶלְעִי) comes from the Hebrew root selah, meaning “rock, crag, cliff.” It describes not just a stone, but a massive, elevated outcropping—something unscalable and unshakable. Pairing it with Jehovah declares: “The Lord is my secure foundation.”
This name is echoed throughout Scripture. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Paul writes that the Israelites “drank from the spiritual Rock… and the Rock was Christ.”
💎 A Diamond of Truth
God doesn’t promise we’ll never face storms—but He does promise we’ll never face them without a foundation. Jehovah Sel’i is not moved by waves or winds. And when we build our life on Him, neither are we.
Your strength doesn’t come from what you stand against—it comes from what you stand on. If God is your rock, then your future is secure.
💬 Reflect and Respond
- What has felt unstable or uncertain in your life lately?
- Are you building your trust on feelings, circumstances—or on Jehovah Sel’i?
- What would it look like to rest in His unshakable strength today?
Plant your feet on the Rock that never moves. Jehovah Sel’i is your stronghold, your anchor, and your place of peace. And He is enough.
