Kingdom Task: Feel the Rock
Is 26:1-6; Mt 7: 21, 24-27
We speak of God as we speak of so many other things in life; we refer to God as we do to so many other persons around; we give God a special place in our lives and leave things at that - do you think we are doing well in all these? The Word today reminds us that the Lord has to be the Rock of our life - the foundation, the stronghold, the ground, the very source and the strength of a meaningful life.
At times we need to feel the Rock of our life to set ourselves right. We may lose sight of the Rock and take it for granted because it rests there unmoved, underlying our lives and sustaining us as the Acts would say, "we live, move and have our being in Him" (Acts 17:28). If we have to become the people of the Rock, we need to become more and more aware of the Rock holding us even while we tend to go wrong. Only then can we would be mindful that we belong to the Rock and we need to remain with the Rock. So the primary call is, listen to the Lord, experience the Lord's presence, feel the Rock!
