"That rock was Christ!" 1 Corinthians 10:4
He was first promised, then prefigured, and then manifested.
He is the smitten rock, which supplies His thirsty ones.
He is the rock of ages, which sustains His feeble ones.
He is the great rock, which revives His weary ones.
He is the high rock, which protects His hunted ones.
He is the cleft rock, which hides His timid and fearful ones.
In this rock we are safe.
>From this rock—we can see the promised land which is very far off.
By this rock—we are sheltered from the storm, and screened from the scorching sun.
We often wander from it. At a distance we learn its value, and sigh for the privilege it confers. But wherever we may be, it is accessible to us.
Jesus is all we need. He has all we can possibly want. Led to Him, we shall be raised . . .
above our fears,
above our foes, and
above our expectations!
He is able to do for us exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think!
"From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I!" Psalms 61:2
