Fresh Start: On the Rock
When we began construction on our first church building, my friend Al and I met every Monday morning to evaluate the progress. I was never happy with what had been accomplished. One day, Al got fed up with my whining. He walked me over to where the foundation was being dug and said, “Ron, I know they are digging down instead of building up. But if they don’t dig deep and build this building on a solid foundation, whatever is above ground will crack and crumble. Be patient. Digging deep to ensure a solid foundation is the most important part of this project.”
The Lord is My Rock
Do you need protection from an enemy that continues to pursue? Do you need shelter from a storm that is pelting you with anxiety and fear? God is Yahweh Tsuri—The Lord my Rock. You can find all you need in him.
Addressing the “Strange Melancholy”
He alone fills our fearful and unsettled hearts with peace and joy.
Monument to Self
There is only one “monument” that can stand: A life transformed by Jesus.
The Rock
Thank God for always being faithful, for being the immovable Rock that you can cling to in any situation.
The Lord My Rock
Thank God that he is immutable and immovable. Thank him for his encouragement and protection. Let him know that you are clinging to him—even in the storm.
