God Our Rock, 2

~ God Who Created and Sustains Us ~

Introduction  ~  In Matthew 7:24-27 and Luke 6:47-49 Jesus relates the importance of building your house upon rock rather than sand.  This principle is even more critical when it comes to our spiritual life.  Each post in this series looks at a different Biblical passage which refers to our God as a Rock (not a complete list). 

Scripture  ~  “He made him ride in the heights of the earth, that he might eat the produce of the fields; He made him draw honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty rock; curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs; and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the choicest wheat; and you drank wine, the blood of the grapes.

“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese!  Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation.  They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; with abominations they provoked Him to anger.  They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they did not know, to new gods, new arrivals that your fathers did not fear.  Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten the God who fathered you” (Deuteronomy 32:13-18).
