Stone
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:4-5
Seeing the damage an earthquake can cause is quite interesting, the movement of rock and earth and seeing how the ground shakes back and forth, there is great power there. Every time I read a scripture dealing with stones being built up I ask myself, how sturdy are stones. If you look at buildings that are built with stones compared to wood or another less sturdy material, the stones are typically standing after a major event. Think about a tornado tearing apart a wood structure home, at times only the chimney, built out of stone, is still standing. God is our stone and He is stronger than anything that can shake us, and believe me, I have been shaken recently. Each time I am shaken, I lean into that Rock that provides me comfort and guidance. Don't forget about the stone that is strong and can do anything. He is your fortress and your very strong reward, you just need to have faith to allow Him to do His work.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
