Need a Rock to Stand On?

O. T. #2286 "Need a Rock to Stand On?"

Zechariah 3-Part 5

LET IT GLOW

I am still sore from the accident Thursday. (writing this Saturday) Probably I will go to the doctor to get my shoulder and arm checked out. I thank God for His protective hand upon us all. No broken bones. Some way this will turn out for my good and God's glory. 

Believer, do you realize that our God is always watching over us?

The LORD thy God in the midst (nearest part; heart; thought) of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing. (Zephaniah 2:17)

Friend, if you do not feel the Lord God with you, trust Jesus as your Savior, believe He is God's Son, the One who died on the cross to take away your sins, that He arose from the dead and lives forever more. 

If He seems distant, then your sins are keeping a gulf between you and the Savior. Confess them and obey His Word. Then you will feel God in your midst, in your heart, in your mind. What a blessing it is to know we are not alone.

LET IT GROW

A good preacher friend of ours, gone onto heaven, wrote these words describing Jesus Christ:

• Jesus is the Capstone, Headstone. 
• Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone. (Acts 4:10-12)
• Jesus is the Stone. (Matt. 21:42)
• Jesus is the Rock. (Matt. 16:13)
• Jesus is the Stone of Heaven. (Daniel 12:14; 2:34-35)

Jesus is rock solid. When the winds of life blow hard against us, when the floods of trials try to drown us, like Peter, when we need something to uphold us from sinking into sin, Jesus is the answer, our Rock and Stone. When we stand on Him, we will not fall down, drown, be defeated.  

LET IT GO

Great is Your love, grace, and mercy, Jesus!

Remember us in our hard times, O God.

Your grace is enough for me.
