The Rock: Jesus
Are you familiar with the story of the wise man and the foolish man from Matthew 7:24-27? The story goes like this: The wise man builds his house upon the rocks and the foolish mains builds his house on the sand. When a terrible storm comes it destroys the house on the sand, but the house on the rocks stands firm. What this story is showing us is God is the rock and wants us to make the right decision by asking him to come into our heart so that he can help us stand firm in our faith, and not make bad decisions. If we decied to not be like the wise man and decide to be like the foolish man, it will be easy for us to be tempted to make bad decisions. The right decision is to follow God and not to be leaded to not to terrible things.
Many other times in the Bible it says that God is our rock.
Some examples are:
2 Samuel22:32, 2 Samuel 22:2-3a, Deuteronomy 32:41, and Psalm 31:3b.
If you have a bible go ahead and look these verses up.
If you are interested in learning more about God talk to a parent, pastor, relative, or guardian.
