“and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.”. (1 Corinthians 10:4)
As the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, the rock at Mount Sinai was the source of literal water for them. Today, Jesus our Rock is the source of “living water” to all who believe in Him. Are you thirsty? Drink from the Rock of your Salvation. Everyone who drinks from this Rock shall never thirst again, for the Water “shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life (John 4:13-14).
When you lean your whole weight against a large rock, you realize it is immovable and fully capable of supporting you. A rock speaks of stability. Is your life lacking stability? Do you need someone to lean on? Someone you know will not be moved by the heavy load you carry on your back? Run to the Rock of your Salvation and “cast your burden on the Lord” (Psalm 55:22). David run to his Rock ad testified that “He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a ROCK making my footsteps firm.” (Psalm 40:2).
When life becomes “shaky” remember that nothing moves or changes Jesus. He is not affected by the convulsions of society or the confusion of government. He is our rock. He stands secure. He will not be moved. And neither will you if you are hidden in the cleft of the Rock of your Salvation.
Dear Lord God, I am lifting up those who are lost and have wandered away from the Rock of Salvation. Draw them to you so they can run to the Rock, where Jesus has stretched his hands for whosoever will, come and drink from the water of life freely. And may they find shade under the Rock from the scorching sun of despair. Amen!
