David used the metaphor of a rock to describe God: ... Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress ... (Psalm 31:2-3). David described God this way because God provided stability and security for his (Davids) people. To take refuge in God is better than hiding in a man-made fortress or behind huge rocks. When the Bible spoke of the Lord as the Rock, it was a symbol of strength and a place where people often take refuge (Psalm 31:4). There are times when the mountains or rocks we depend on (e.g. family, money, relationships, networks and careers) suddenly crumble in the middle of the night. However, God is our one true rock-the source of stability, strength, permanence, and faithfulness! Isaiah 26:4 New International Version 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal
