WEEK 5 – DAY 3

ROCK CONCERT

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalm 95:1-2

God, who is the Rock, provided water from the Rock. Numbers 20:8 (NIV) “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.” According to 1 Corinthians 10:3-4, Jesus was the Rock that poured out the water, “They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” Jesus, being the Rock, is the provision and is the River of Life. John 7:38: “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” The living water is the Holy Spirit flowing through the life of the believer and bearing witness to the world. The Rock, in scripture, is also a symbol of safety and security because the high rocks of the holy land served as natural fortresses. Jesus is our stronghold, and we rest safely in His care. Let us sing and shout joyfully to the Rock. Let’s hold a “Rock” concert.

Father, You have been, currently are, and will be our Rock to which we are firmly anchored during the stormy times in our lives. We praise You and thank You that are both the solid Rock and our safe place to land. In times of trouble, You are everything we need.
