Who do you worship?
Who is your rock?
That ought to be the same person because the one we worship should bring things in to our lives that only the one with great authority can bring.
Strength. Peace. Guidance. Learning. Stability. Insight. Self-control. Grace. Purpose.
That is just a few. They are real, or at least they are some of the things that the one I worship brings in to my life. Maybe you have found that to be true as well.
With the message I shared Sunday at The Community Fellowship I looked at the word rock in the Bible. There are several different meanings. Everything from what is used to stone a person to something that is strong to a person that is revered.
Here are some verses that stick out in my mind.
1 Samuel 2:2 NASB
There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.
Matthew 21:42 NASB
Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘A stone which the builders rejected, This has become the chief cornerstone; This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
Psalm 18:2 NASB
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 62:6-7 NASB
He alone is my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken. My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Jesus alone is the real rock. God is the rock that can be trusted and is stronger than anyone or anything else. He can be leaned on and held on to all the time.
Know God and hold on to Him as you rock. Let go of any other rocks.
