The Rock

Standing on the Rock painted by Ellen Rice

Matthew 7:26-27

26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.

Today’s verse in Matthew 7 actually came from another bible study I am doing at our church. After reading them I immediately thought of the song, “My Feet Are on the Rock” by I Am They. No matter what we go through our feet are on the rock!

However, there are days when I get knocked down and I sit up on the rock. Somedays I can do nothing but pray and my knees are on the rock. Yet, other days, I am just exhausted and I can’t take another step and I lay upon the rock. Then there are the horrible days where anxiety, fear, and worry take over and I toss and turn on the rock. The point is I am always on the rock!

The Christian life never promised days without pain, worry, grief, or strife. No, I think we actually see more. We are just blessed to be on the rock when all the storms billow around. We are privileged to sing:

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
So stomp your feet and clap your hands
Our feet are on the rock!

(My feet Are on the Rock, I Am They)

Thank You, Lord, for being the rock on which I stand, sit, kneel, lay, and yes even toss and turn. ~Amen
