The Rock

As I was reading this morning's devotions at http://frcliveonline.blogspot.com/2008/11/rock-devotional-for-thursday.html, I started to think about what the ROCK means to me...



For me, God is my Rock - He is the foundation of my life. If my life shifts off-center, it means I have shifted away from God, because He is the center of my being!



I can always tell when my life shifts off-center, because I feel it! I feel lost, a bit disconnected - and sometimes I can't even identify why!



I sought His word this morning to guide me to what I'm doing or am not doing and came across these scriptures:



Ezekiel 11: 17-20



"This is what the Sovereign lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.


They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols.
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them;
I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
They will be my people and I will be their God."



Scattered - that's how I feel this morning...
I need to find my ROCK and rid my life of the things that have shifted me away from Him!



1 Corinthians 15: 2



"By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you.
Otherwise, you have believed in vain."



Otherwise, you have believed in vain - wow!!! It's not enough to say you are a God-Follower... You have to live the life of a God-Follower.


Its time for a reality check - what am I doing? Where am I going wrong?
I'm not sure but what I do know is when you have moments like this, even greater prayer and time spent in the Word is needed.


"Father, help me to see where I have shifted off-course and guide me back to You, my Rock and Foundation!


In Jesus' name I pray..
And I thank you Lord, for always hearing and listening to my cry!"
