Day 10: The Rock
The Rock in the Bible is a symbol of strength and endurance, of permanence and reliability.
In the psalms we read many references to God described as a rock - a solid foundation, our protector, shelter, place of safety.

“Be my rock of refuge to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress” Psalm 71 v3
People will often describe someone who they totally rely and depend upon as being their rock in life – someone who is solid and will never let them down. In the parable of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7 v24-27) Jesus gives a picture of Himself as the foundation upon which we build our lives. When our lives are established upon Jesus as our rock, our foundation, we can withstand the storms that come upon us.
Prayer: Take a moment to visualise yourself standing upon a rock, feel its strength and solidity beneath your feet, and give thanks and praise to Jesus our Rock who will never let you down.
