Text: Deuteronomy 32:1-52
Very soon Moses will die, and one of the last things he does is write a song and recite it to the people. What we will notice is Yahweh’s new name – The Rock! Moses does not say God is like a rock but God is the Rock. God is fixed, He cannot be moved, He will not change, He is completely trustworthy, and we can be absolutely secure with nothing to fear. Many times in Scripture the
Lord is called the Rock. Isaiah says of God, “…LORD God is an everlasting Rock” (Isa.26:4 – ESV).
Jesus spoke that same way about His own teachings (Matt.7:24, at the end of the Sermon on the Mount). Jesus Christ is indeed the Rock eternal. When the storms of the world attack, Satan’s attacks, and even the attacks from your own remaining corruption, stay fixed on Christ and you will be safe. And when the storm of God’s judgment day comes, you cannot be shaken, you will not fall.
Jesus lived righteousness for you and paid your death penalty. You are safe in Jesus the Rock.
Meditate on verses 1 – 4. What is God teaching you in these verses?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, Your ways are just, You are God of truth and without injustice, righteous and upright You are! Amen.
