LIVING IN THE ROCK Colossians 3:1-11
Devotional:- “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (V. 3)
No one can stay in a rock and be affected by any form of wicked weapon. Nothing of such can penetrate the rock. To blow a rock is one of the highest risks anyone can take. The rock is one of the hardest substances on the earth. Jesus liken a man to be a wise man when he builds on the rock, how much more when, he lives in the rock (Matthew 7:24).
The word of God talked about a rock in the Old Testament. This was the rock through which God provided water for the children of Israel in the wilderness (Exodus 17:6, Numbers 20:10-11). God gave a prophecy that He will put this rock in the coming Zion (Isaiah 28:16). Jesus referred to this rock as the Chief cornerstone (Luke 20:7). The Bible told us that this rock is what formed the foundation of the church (Matthew 16:18). That is why no power has been able to destroy the church.
The Bible says that Jesus is the rock (1 Corinthians 10:4). The Bible refer to believers as living stones (1 Peter 2:4-6). Our live is said to be in Him (Colossians 3:3-4). So, spiritually, you are in the rock which is Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4). That rock will destroy anyone who stand against you (Luke 20:18).Whoever offend Him shall stumble and fall (1 Peter 2:8). As you put your faith in this rock of ages, you will not be put to shame (1 Peter 2:6). Standing in there makes you stand in victory. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, as l stand in the rock I am eternally secured.
