“A Firm Foundation”

Thursday, March 21, 2013

When I was at church, we were talking about how God was our rock; what does that mean?

Sincerely,
Rock On

Dear Rock On,

There are several verses that refer to God as our Rock (Deu 32:31, 1 Sam 2:2, 2 Sam 22:32, Ps 18:31, Ps 95:1, and 1 Cor 10:14… just to name a few).  Calling God our “rock” is a metaphor.  Just like a rock, God is stable, indestructible, immovable, and a firm foundation.  Throughout all the Scriptures, we see that God is unchanging (Heb 13:8) and trustworthy (Ps 20:7).  He is the firm foundation that we can build our lives upon (Matt 7:24-27).
