1.3.14 He is a a Rock

1.3.14
For I will proclaim the name (and presence) of  The Lord.  Concede and ascribe greatness to our God.  He is the Rock.  Deuteronomy 32:3-4a

This is the first time that God is called Rock in scripture.  It's funny (interestingly) that in a text to my sweet friend, just yesterday, I told her she was my rock.  What I meant when I said that to her is a reflection of who God is to me, who she is because of her allowing God to work in her.

God is there for me when I don't know what to do.  He gives me wisdom and advice in the midst of a "I don't really know what to do next" moment.  He says, stop, let's spend time together and take a breath.  He shows me how to do things I didn't know I knew how to do.  He offers to be right there by my side when I am going through stuff.  He's there through the good an bad, through the laughter and the tears.

My friend, my sister in Christ, offers godly wisdom and advice, she is a take charge type of person, who willingly and selflessly steps up to help.  Sometimes when I don't know what to do, she says, "this is what we are going to do".   She displays the character of God as a Rock.

I will reflect on God as my rock today, and hopefully as I do those thoughts will settle into my heart.

He cannot be moved, He is solid, He is strong.  He is the foundation on which I must stand.  So grateful am I for the people God has placed in my life to be "my rocks" over the years.  I pray to glorify God by being a rock to someone else this year.  Blessings and grace.  3/365
