What scriptural connections reinforce the supremacy of God over other "rocks"? Our Key Verse: Deuteronomy 32:31 "For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede." Scriptural Echoes Naming God “Rock” • 2 Samuel 22:32 – "For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?" • 1 Samuel 2:2 – "There is no one holy like the LORD… And there is no Rock like our God." • Psalm 18:2 – "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer…" • Psalm 18:31 – "For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?" • Isaiah 44:8 – "Is there any God besides Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one." “Their rock” vs. “Our Rock” • “Their rock” stands for idols, alliances, or anything trusted instead of the LORD. • Idols are human-made and powerless (Isaiah 44:9-20). • The LORD creates, sustains, and shepherds (Psalm 95:3-7). • Even enemies acknowledge His superiority (Exodus 14:25; Joshua 2:10-11). Why the LORD Alone Is the Supreme Rock • Permanence – "From everlasting to everlasting You are God" (Psalm 90:2). • Power – "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made" (Psalm 33:6). • Protection – "He alone is my rock and my salvation… I will never be shaken" (Psalm 62:2). • Provision – "He fed you with honey from the rock" (Psalm 81:16). • Perfect Justice – "All His ways are just; a faithful God who does no wrong" (Deuteronomy 32:4). Living on the One True Rock • Rest in His unchanging character when culture offers shifting substitutes. • Lean on His promises; every word proves true (Proverbs 30:5). • Celebrate His supremacy: "The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock!" (Psalm 18:46). • Model steadfast faith so others see the contrast between fragile supports and the immovable Rock. |
