Trusting In The Rock”
“Mark 12:28-44”
Sometimes those things we trust disappear. They fade away in the night with one sudden phone call or car ride or decision. Perhaps we knew, deep down, that the person could not be counted on, the job could not last, the relationship would not weather the storm, but we decided to believe it was timeless anyway. When we carry many responsibilities; children, a marriage, a job, parents, a home; we often come to trust ourselves as well. Who else will keep things going? We wonder. So we hold on tightly to keep everything together, to stay in control.
God’s desire is the opposite of our human inclination. He wants us to release our tight-fisted control. He wants us to give him control of everything in our lives. God wants you to place everything in his hands, not because he wants you to be empty, but because he wants to fill you to overflowing. Of all the things we look to for stability and performance, he is the only true Rock who will never fall or fade away.
