The Stone

Yesterday God impressed on me the value of the stone. He was trying to explain to me how precious a stone is. So many times we take the little things for granted, but this little thing, this small stone, is a big thing indeed. And He took me back to the beginning.

Genesis 1:1,

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

The earth was 1 of the first things that God created. I sometimes think about dirt and how we came from dirt, but I have never related the stone to dirt/soil.

When God first created the earth it was just 1 big rock without form. By without form is implicating that it was round, but to create a rock first has to carry importance.

Everything that God created on the earth then came out of this rock.

In the Old Testament the stone is often mentioned as be costly.

Break the stone and you’ll find all kinds of precious gemstones and metals, but as in everything else good in life it takes strength and hard work.

The stone is used to form a foundation.

Luke 6:48,

“He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”

The stone is unshakeable! It’s stable and steady!

The stone can elevate things.

Numbers 23:9,

“For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.”

On top of the rock we can be seen by all and no one and nothing can stand against us.

And then there is the rock that will rock your world. A stone like no other stone. That rock is our Father God, YHWY. The unmovable, undiminishing and indestructible stone!

1 Samuel 2:2,

“There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”

Without this stone we are as the world helpless and defeated.

Deuteronomy 32:31,

“For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.”

They can’t call on the rock like you. Your belief in this rock has the power to do the impossible. It has the power to overcome all your adversaries. It has the power to pull you out of every struggle.

So today if you are struggling, if you are battling, if you are being assassinated in your character or spirit.

Climb on top of the stone.

Be elevated above it all.

Stand upon the rock that is our God.

Be blessed!
