The Rock!

Deuteronomy 32:4 - “The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He."

If we do not establish in the good times that God is our Rock and His work is perfect, we will be hugely disappointed with our perception of Him when things turn sour. "Why did I not get that promotion? Why did God take my sister at such a young age from cancer? Why are my children out of control?

We can easily reduce God the Rock to “the pebble of insignificance” if we allow our circumstances to dominate the conversation in our minds and hearts. However, when we look to Him and trust that everything He does is perfect, it takes the whine out of our "whys" and puts Him back on the throne. He no longer becomes just a scapegoat for the way we imagine things should go, but He once again becomes the Just One who works everything -- perfectly -- according to His will.
