\nDeu 32:31<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0For their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Numbers 23:8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>1 Samuel 2:2<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThere is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/span>Jeremiah 40:3<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The LORD has brought it about, and has done as he said. Because you sinned against the LORD and did not obey his voice, this thing has come upon you.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Daniel 2:47<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The king answered and said to Daniel, \u201cTruly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Daniel 3:29<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Daniel 6:26-27<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.\u00a0\u00a0He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Firm foundation: the solid eternity of the rock on which we can build. Refuge: \u2018refuge from the storm\u2019; \u2018my rock and my fortress and my high tower.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Every man\u2019s experience shows him that there is no such refuge anywhere else.<\/b> We do not assert that every man consciously comes to that conclusion. All we say is that he would do so if he rightly pondered the facts. The history of every life is a history of disappointment. Take these particulars just stated and ask yourselves: What does experience say as to the possibility of our possessing such blessings apart from God? There is no need for us to exaggerate, for the naked reality is sad enough. If God is not our best Good, we have no solid good. Every other \u2018rock\u2019 crumbles into sand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Every man\u2019s own nature tells him that God is his true Rock.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Again I say that here I do not appeal to the surface of our consciousness, nor to men who have sophisticated themselves, nor to people who have sinned themselves, into hardness, but to the voice of the inner man which speaks in the depths of each man\u2019s being. There is the cry of Want: the manifest want of the soul for God. There is the voice of Reason. There is the voice of Conscience.<\/p>\n
Yet many of us will not take God for our Rock<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Surely it is a most extraordinary thing that men should be \u2018judges,\u2019 being convinced in their deepest consciousness that God is the only Foundation and Refuge, and yet that the conviction should have absolutely no influence on their conduct. (MacLaren)<\/p>\n
God is certainly ever-present and a rock and refuge for those who are His children. Disobedient, complacent, neglectful, unappreciative, deaf, blind, self-reliant, self-worthy, lovers of self, proud, greedy, jealous, etc\u2026 as we may be, He has reached out to us and sent His Son to redeem us for His own purpose, pleasure, and plans. How are we to act in light of His blessings? How are we to think and speak? How are we to honor God the creator of all there is? By continually renewing our minds through His word and intentionally desiring to live to honor and glorify Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
