In days long ago,
rocks or bricks would be used to make a strong building. Why would rocks be chosen instead of wood or
straw? They are so strong, and they are
hard to destroy. If you hit a rock with
all your strength, what would happen to the rock? Why would it still look the same?
In the poems or
psalms of King David, it says, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress” (Psalm
18:2a). Enemies could shoot arrows, but
the rocks of the fortress would stop the arrows from hurting the people
inside. In the same way, the Lord Jesus
is protection for us.
As the rock, Jesus
is strong, and he keeps us safe from dangers and anything that would destroy
us. We can be happy that Jesus is a
rock if we trust Him, but the Bible says that those who do not trust Jesus will
trip on this rock and fall down (1 Peter 2:8).
The baby born at
Christmas is not weak and helpless anymore.
He is the strong rock of our lives.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for being a rock-like fortress to protect your
people. We need your strength to
live. Help us to trust you more and
more.
Amen.
