Some words from Moses, speak loudly to me...today...
“For their rock is not like our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves being judges.”
Deuteronomy 32:30-31
Really. We all believe something. Even the most ardent atheist believes.
Personally, I think it takes WAY more faith to NOT believe in God than to have faith in Him. Just go outside and take a look at one spring flower that is blooming. Well, I digress.
These last words of Moses, who tasted all the sensual lusts, money, status, and power the world had to offer in the first forty years of his life as prince of Egypt, knows that the world at large is banking on the flimsy rock of these things just mentioned. Don’t I sometimes too? My education, my position, my bank account, my house – the list goes on. These are all rocks I can put my hopes in, but as Moses states in the prior verse – take a look – these foundations eventually well sell me out. The devil, who distracts us with these less than foundations, will always sell me out.
Nope. I place my trust on a different Rock. The ROCK. The Rock of Ages. King Jesus who never falters, crumbles beneath me, cannot be shaken, and Who cannot fail.
What Rock are you hoping to save you in your current circumstances? Make sure it is the One and Only, True Rock. Anything less is just that: so much less.
