Isaiah 26:4 “Trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.”
CAN’T BE MOVED
Don’t you just love this verse? Our God rocks! I mean, our God is a Rock. Lol. But He is, and He does. That is just Who He is. He is firm and unmovable. He gives us a solid foundation on which to stand. He gives us a place on which we can build our life without fear of it crumbling.
I live in Chattanooga,Tennessee. One of the best things about this area is the hiking that is available. I wish I took more advantage of the opportunities, but they are there. There are rock outcroppings all around us. Some are famous, like Point Park on Lookout Mountain. Others are not so well known. But they all have one thing in common – they have been there a long time. Barring some huge natural disaster, they aren’t going anywhere.
TEACHING MOMENT
Parents, this is a fun verse to teach your little Gertrude or Elrod. Find an area near you with exposed rock. If you live somewhere that is not available, find a picture of that to show them. Explain how the hardness of the rock gives a solid base on which to stand. Explain how, even though it is heavy and practically impossible to move, it doesn’t compare to God.
God is that Rock that will not be moved. There is no force in heaven or on earth that can change Who He is. He is permanent, foundational, solid and firm. He will always be there. They can always depend on Him. They can place everything they have on Him and it will not fall. He’s got it. He’s got them.
Are you placing your feet on The Rock? Or are you standing in quicksand? Do you feel your feet moving and sliding? I don’t like that feeling. I want to feel secure. I want my feet to stand on solid ground. I want The Rock beneath me. Trust Him to be your Rock of Ages.
