“Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.” – Abraham Lincoln

“My mother is my rock whom I admire immensely,” I am reading in an article called “The best move a family can make,” (HUMANS OF KAITAIA), in our local paper, The Northland Age, Thursday, February 7, 2019.

I am a reader of the Bible and reading that brings straight away “My Rock” to my mind.

In Psalm 40:2 David says that the LORD set his feet on a rock and gave him a firm place to stand. In Psalm 18:2 David says also that the LORD is not only his rock in whom he takes refuge, but that he is also his “fortress” and his “deliverer,” his “shield,” the horn of his salvation and his “stronghold.”

I can also say with David, “The LORD is my rock.” What about you? Do you have a rock to stand on?

In Isaiah 26:4 we read, “Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.”

The writer of the article “The best move a family can make,” tells us also what the rock whom she admires immensely, has taught her. And just as she tells us what her “rock” has taught her, I can tell you what “My Rock”, the Lord Jesus Christ, has taught me over the years.
