Text: Proverbs 30:25 (New Living Translation)

[26]Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks.


Continued from yesterday...


Rock Hyraxes are not short on natural predators. They are preyed on by leopards, hyenas, jackals, servals, pythons, and the Verreaux's eagles. 


Given that these little creatures are not designed with a biological defensive feature, they choose to live in rocks to offer them the defense and protection they need.


Their inability to defend themselves made them find wisdom in getting the much needed defence from the rocks. Rock hyraxes are very safe when they retreat into their rock stronghold. 


This is the wisdom we should learn. As humans, there are so many things that can cause us serious hurt. This could be spiritual, physical, emotional, financial, psychological, etc. 


Wisdom requires us to seek defence and protection when we find ourselves in danger. Just like the Hyraxes live and run into the rocks for safety, we should always dwell in The Rock who is God. 


Psalms 18:31 "For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?"


Psalms 62:2 says "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."


Psalms 94:22 says "But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge."


In God our Rock, we find ultimate defence, security, and protection. We run into Him and we are safe. 


Don't live your life exposed and open to all sorts of predatory attacks. Live your life in the security that God provides. Come and dwell safely in Him, for in Him are pleasures evermore


"Invincibility lies in the defence, the possibility of victory in the attack" ~ Sun Tzu 


We'll continue tomorrow...


Have a graced day...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
