On the Rock
Somehow when it all seems as though it's going to fall apart, when you truly can say you are experiencing most of life (or so it seems) and can relate to all that you were afraid of, there really isn't anything to be afraid of. To find your purpose in life, really, and see everything come to a halt, literally (or so it seems); does it really ever completely shut down as long as you're breathing? And even when we stop breathing nothing shuts down anyway, ever.
We begin to see that as we are planted on the Rock, that nothing, no one, no circumstance, not even any 'spiritual wickedness' can knock us down. In that there may be comfort knowing that we have a God Who is on our side, even in that we don't get the whole perspective. We get side tracked, emotionally, mentally, spiritually... We forget because it is human nature to forget. It's like our built in protective mechanism is the same mechanism which brings us to our knees, if we don't resist, which is a beautiful thing.
Regardless of life and storms and the gamut of feelings throughout our lives, there is one thing that is stationary, solid, keeping us anchored through it all. Regardless of our trials, we have One Who is there, always, giving us ground to stand on, when everything 'seems' to be falling apart around us, in the spirit we are steadfast and sure, regardless of what we see with our physical eyes and feel with our physical bodies.
Romans 9:30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." 33 As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
When we look away and put everything in our own ability, we stumble. When we truly see Him and keep our eyes on Him and live by faith, we stand and we walk in His light. He is the Rock.
My desire is to share my Rock, His name is Jesus. Without Him I am absolutely nothing, without Him, my life does come to a halt, that is an abrupt halt.
Without Love I cannot live.
