The Rock

“There is no-one holy like the LORD; there is no-one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2 (NIV)

We know, from the story of the man who built his house on the rock and the man who built his house on sand, that we need firm foundations to build on - but sometimes we don’t even know what the ‘rock’ we’re meant to build on looks like for the house we are building.

One of the biggest things you can build in your lifetime is your life. But what is the ‘rock’ when our life is the house being built? The answer, according to this verse, is God. He’s not just a rock, He’s the Rock. There is nothing else that we can build our life upon that will give us a firm foundation.

When God is our Rock, the storms can come crashing around us and we will not be toppled, even though those around us may be sinking in their foundations of sand. See also Psalm 62:6.
