Day 22 - Rock Concert
Excerpt from A Life's Symphony of Joy
by Rev. Susan R. Slade
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.
