Pig asks, Why do You call GOD a ROCK?

Good Morning

You are so funny Pig.

Rock is what you make solid ground out of.

HE GOD is the soild ROCK I STAND.

HE GOD is called THE ROCK of AGES.

HE GOD asked Peter who did he believe HE WAS?

THIS is what JESUS asked Peter.

Then Peter answered correctly who JESUS WAS.

Peter said, TO JESUS, YOU ARE THE MESSIAH

THE SON OF GOD.

JESUS SAID, AND I SAY UNTO THEE,THAT THOU ART PETER,

AND UPON THIS ROCK

I will build my church; and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.

MATHEW 16:18

Pig asked, Is that why you collect rocks?

To be strong and see what GOD has made?

Pig said, I know you even have rock candy so you can eat rocks.

You must really like rocks.

\

Pig you are so amazing how you can turn something upside down.

Yes, I like collecting rocks and I am facinated about thier beauty and minerals they have in them.

I find fossils too. Of Past things that lived long ago.

Pig, did you know that is how you find GOLD.

You dig for it.

That is JUST like THE WORD OF GOD

HIS WORDS ARE TREASURES TO YOUR SOUL AND SPIRIT.

YOU SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO FIND TRUTH AND UNDERSTANDING OF GOD AND YOU.

I will list scriptures and stories about GOD that refers to GOD as THE ROCK.

BUT No.

Pig,

GOD IS NOT A ROCK.

HE MADE THE ROCKS AND THE EARTH.

Pig asked again,

Why do you buy rock candy ?

Because Pig, it is facinating that people can make things that look real and are not.

That is the same about Life in general.

You think a Person is one way and they are not.

GOD said you will know them by their fruits.

Pig said, and now it is FRUITS?

ROCKS and FRUIT this is confusing.

FUNNY Pig.

On the contrary Pig .

This is not the same at all.

When a Person lives their life according to THE WILL OF GOD.

Kind and loving and helpful to others.

VERSES

A person that lives just for him or herself and lives lawlessly you can easily see the difference.

Just like tasting a bad apple verses a good apple.

You would see the difference too.

Pig belive me, most of the time you would know the difference.

DID YOU KNOW?

A ROCK IS A SMBOL?

OF STRENGTH.

DEUTERONOMY 32:14

HE IS OUR ROCK.

HE flowed in the wilderness for 40 years that gave life.

HE was the ROCK that was smitten.

THE ROCK WAS CHRIST THE SMBOL ON THE CROSS AS HE WAS SMITTEN AND BEATEN.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:4

LEAD ME TO THE ROCK.

DAVID SAID, Pig interupted me and asked asked who is DAVID?

THE ONE THAT WAS A YOUNG TEENANGER WHO SLEW THE GIANT WITH HIS SLING SHOT WITH ONE SMOOTH ROCK.

THEN HE CUT OFF THE HEAD OF THE GIANT named GOLIATH WITH HIS OWN SWORD.

THIS FREED THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND DAVID LATER BECAME KING.

HE WROTE A LOT OF THE SONGS THAT ARE THE PSALMS IN THE BIBLE.

OH, Pig said.

I love hearing those Psalms when you read them to me.

I love that too, Pig.

I want you to know that

DAVID KNEW THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME THROUGH HIS LINEAGE.

HE SAID, LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I. PSALM 61:2

DAVID WAS A MAN OF PRAYER AND SONG.

DAVID CONSTANTLY WAS IN SEARCH OF BEING IN THE ATTITUDE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO BE IN THE CLOSENESS TO GOD.

HE KNEW GOD AND HIS GRACE HAD NO LIMITS.

HE KNEW GOD GIVES AND GIVES AND THEN GIVES MORE.

HE DOES THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU TOO.

When you come to the end of your rope.

Cry out to JESUS.

LOOK TO JESUS.

HE IS JUST BEGINNING TO GIVE TO YOU.

LEAD ME TO THE ROCK.

THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING TO THE PLACE OF REFUGE

A PLACE OF STRENGTH.

A SHELTER FROM THE ENEMY

YOU CAN SAY IN CONFIDENCE

I CAN TRUST GOD.

THE ROCK OF MY SALVATION

I GO TO THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER REJECTED

I RUN TO THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOUNTAIN STANDS BY ME

WHEN ALL AROUND ME

IS SINKING SAND

ON CHRISTS SOLID ROCK I STAND

WHEN I NEED A SHELTER

WHEN I NEED A FRIEND

I GO TO THE ROCK.

That is a song Pig.

Look it up on You tube for the melody.

We use to sing that in church.

Their are sure is alot of songs about THE ROCK.

Pig said.

I know.

I responded.

The Song Rock of Ages was a good one too.

ALL THE SONGS ARE ABOUT JESUS

HIS STRENTGH AND HIS LOVE AND HIS FORGIVENESS.

WE LOOK NOW TO DUTERONOMY 32:4

HE IS THE ROCK.

HIS WORK IS PERFECT.

FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUDGEMENT:

A GOD OF TRUTH WITHOUT INIQUITY.

JUST AND RIGHT IS HE.

WOW, Pig said, I am about ready to try your rock candy.

Sing ROCK SONGS ABOUT JESUS

and then, take a nap and dream about adventures that David had as a teenager.

How did he get to be so brave?

How did he write all those songs?

I answered Pig like this:

You really already know.

I do?

Pig answered.

Yes, By you always asking questions.

Seeking GOD.

STOP

DROP

and

PRAY

which is your MOTTO for about everything.

Except for PANCAKES AND PRAYER AND PRAISE.

Pig, that is exactly how David got to be brave and strong.

David did live out in the out doors and he learned about nature and practiced how to defend himself with his sling shot and rocks to protect his sheep.

You live in Texas now, so there are a lot of ways to be strong here and to protect yourself like the cowboys did.

You have cattle here and big cowboy hats and leather boots and horses to ride .

Pig, asked can I have a pony?

Maybe a minature one when I get my minature donkey.

We will have to wait a while Pig.

Is that ok?

Yes, she said. Pig looked at me

With hope for the future.

Pig and I both looked at each other and smiled.

The most impotant thing Pig is that you LOVE GOD.

and

YOU KNOW HE LOVES YOU TOO.

Just like David did.

Have a beautiful day and weekend is our Prayer.

With Peace and Joy holding on to all your dreams.

and then to receive the many BLESSINGS PRAYED INTO YOUR DAY TO YOU.

IN JESUS NAME

AMEN

From

Pig and me

Our story for today.
