Having recently visited Phoenix, AZ, and climbed some rocky places, I can confidently tell you that rocks are solid. They don’t give way. You can stand on a rock high above the ground below and be confident it will not break. Your weight is nothing compared to the weight of the rock.
When we think of God as our rock, we cannot think of a pebble or a small rock. He is a gigantic rock! I stood on a rock that was a couple hundred feet high and several hundred feet long. No, it was not a rock formation but a single rock. God as our rock is much bigger than that.
So, when we stand on the rock of our salvation, God, we should be nothing less than fully confident. No wonder the Psalmist says we are to make a joyful noise. God, as our rock, cannot be shaken. He cannot fail. Our weight does not even compare to us holding a feather in our hand. He holds the entire world in his hands. Yet we are significant to him.
Sing out to God. Sing your favorite hymn. Sing a new song that has burst into your heart. Just sing. For God loves to hear our praises in song. They make God glad. They make our hearts glad. They lift our spirits and allow us to express our praises in more than words. For when the heart is glad and our spirit is glad, much more than words are being communicated.
Ensure you are standing on the rock of your salvation. Keep your feet solidly planted in him. In doing so, you will sing and make joyful noises. In doing so, your spirit will soar. For God as our rock, our solid foundation, will never fail us. Stand on that promise.
I pray we all stand on the rock of our salvation. I pray we sing to God with a joyful voice. I pray each one of us stay firmly planted on our solid foundation of God and his promises. Stand on the rock. Sing with a joyful voice. Stay firmly planted on your solid foundation. God will never fail you.
Psalm 95:1
O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
