Sturdy as a Rock

 ~~~ Isaiah 26:1-6  ~~~ Psalm 118 ~~~ Matthew 7:21, 24-27 ~~~

 

Trust in the LORD forever!
For the LORD is an eternal Rock.

What do you think you know about rocks?
Yesterday Jesus is the shepherd caring for his sheep
today we have the Lord as an eternal rock.
Rocks...you may recall from science class that there are three different
kinds of rocks...igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

It takes time for a rock to be formed...
no matter how long time will never be an issue for God.
There is no need to wait for him to become...he is.
Rocks are formed as they are subjected to intense heat and pressure.
God can be our rock when we are the ones
experiencing intense heat and pressure.

Trust in the LORD forever!
For the LORD is an eternal Rock.

Perhaps as a child you may even have had a rock collection.
Some rocks are just prettier than others.
Some rocks are pressed together by the forces of water.
Rocks can be found everywhere you go...look for them...
let them be a reminder that God is everywhere too. 

 

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
 

Not only can Jesus be compared to a rock so too are his words.
The words of Jesus can bring us comfort, forgiveness,
healing, joy, and so much more.
Taking these timeless words of his and using them to guide our actions will
give us the support we need to withstand any calamity.
  When the storms come and the rains drench the ground around us
we will trust in the Lord and his promise.
He promises to be with us until the end of the age.

We are Blessed to have a God whom
we can count on in times of uncertainty.
