Let's build on the rock

Proverbs 30:26 (KJV)

The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.

Unless you're up on your biology, you're probably wondering, "What in the world is a coney?" I know was. After doing a little research online, I discovered that a coney is a rock badger.

These little critters make their homes in rocks and in sides of mountains -- only venturing away from their rocky homes in the quest for food. While the badger stays within his home of rocks, he is safe from his natural predators. He stays close to home because he realizes his limitations. Badgers recognize that they do not have strength within themselves --- their strength lies in the rocks they call home.

So it should be for us as believers. We, too, must recognize our limitations! We need to be aware that like the conies, we are feeble folk! If we venture too far away from our Rock, Jesus -- we will become vulnerable, easy prey! But if we stay within the shelter of our Rock, we can rest in the security He provides!

The winds and storms of this world can shake us up a bit -- but they don't sway the Rock! Let's make sure our homes are built in the safest place there is. Let's build on the Rock.

Dear Lord, thank You for being our rock. Help us always to rest in Your strength today. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
