THURSDAY 14 MAY
Morning All
The word I have chosen today for the letter R in my alphabet challenge is ROCK.
The word ROCK is used in many different ways . Have you heard the saying 'between a rock and a hard place?' It means you have found yourself in a difficult situation where you have a choice to make with equally unpleasant outcomes. Not a nice situation to be in because it often means that someone is going to be left disappointed. Rocks can be used for building, they can be used for climbing - physically and mentally! Sadly they can also be used for throwing and causing damage and injury. I like to think of rocks in a positive way....in my wee walking group I have a sense of a achievement after climbing over them ( after much moaning and huffing and puffing ).
People often say that another person has been their rock in times of unrest, Ill health and worry. In the bible there are many stories where a rock or rocks are mentioned ( bible study lesson for you, how many can you think of ). How often has Jesus been your rock, your cornerstone, your firm foundation, the rock whose love will never loosen no matter how much you 'climb over it'? He is the ROCK who will never be moved, hallelujah and Praise His Holy Name.
Rev Kay . God loves you - No Matter What
PRAYER: Lord Jesus thank You for being my rock. Thank You that when I need You I know where to find You - deep in my heart - that's where the foundation stone of your love is based. Give me the strength never to stumble or fall over it but to use it to stand tall, achieve and overcome all my fears and worries, then rest in the safety of Your arms. Amen
CHORUS:
The wise man built his house upon the rock x 3
And the rails came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up x 3
And the house upon the rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand x 3
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up x 3
And the house upon the sand fell down.
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ x 3
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings come down as your prayers go up x 3
So build your life on the Lord.
