The Rock

Isaiah 33:6 And he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is Zion's treasure.

I don’t have to tell you that we live in a changing society and culture. No thoughtful person can look at our world without feeling a bit apprehensive. Humankind now has the capability of destroying the world as we know it. We have more power than ever before in our history. And not only that, but we live in a revolution of rising expectations. This generation is one which demands everything now. As a result, people have become frustrated, impatient, and most of all, confused.

But the one thing that can hold our world together is an anchor. When a ship needs to stop, it can’t just put on the brakes. It has to anchor itself to something solid. It has to touch something tangible, something not susceptible to tossing and turning like the waves of the ocean. Because no matter how big the ship is, the waves will always win.

Do you want stability in an ever-changing and chaotic world? I do! Who wouldn’t? Yesterday I mentioned that I had some serious trust issues. You know why? I allowed fallible humans to determine the state my peace and joy instead of the Lord alone. That’s why my world was spinning & upside down.

We need Jesus as our anchor. Find our rest and our peace in Him alone. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He doesn’t bend or shift with the changing times. He isn’t tossed around by the waves of chaos, the winds of adversity or the storms in our lives. He is our firm foundation; the Solid Rock… the Lord Jesus Christ!

IN A CHANGING WORLD, LOOK TO CHRIST AS YOUR ANCHOR AND FIND YOUR REST AND PEACE IN HIM.
