The Rock

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1

The last five words of this verse are a not unfamiliar phrase in the Bible. It's one of those things we read and hear so much that we never really think about what it actually says. God is the foundation of our salvation--our hope. Without Him, all is lost. But He doesn't just give us some basis to build on. No, He is a solid, unmoving, unfailing foundation. He cannot lie, He cannot fail, He cannot falter or mess up or fall asleep. Our salvation is not founded upon us, for if it were, it would surely crumble. You can relax. You can sing. You can dance and rejoice: your fate, your hope, your peace is dependant on a rock that cannot be moved.
