APRIL 19, 2 Samuel 22:1, 2

The largest rock in the world is Mount Augustus in Australia. It is 2.5 times the size of the more popular Uluru, which is often mistaken as the largest rock in the world. How big is Mount Augustus? Well, think about Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Bukit Timah hill is not big, but the entire reserve surrounding it is not small, at about 160 hectares. Mount Augustus is 30 times bigger than that! Think about it – one rock 30 times the size of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve!

How tall is Mount Augustus? The tallest buildings in Singapore are 280 metres, and three buildings share that honour: Republic Plaza, UOB Plaza, and OUB Centre. Mount Augustus is 1,105 metres above sea-level, which means it is about 4 times as tall as the tallest skyscraper in Singapore. Imagine, one rock 30 times the size of Bukit Timah Reserve, and 4 times as tall as the tallest building in Singapore! It must have been one massive rock!

Now, we do not measure God in physical terms. When we say God is our Rock, what we mean is that God provides us the stability, the strength, the unchangeableness that we need in our spiritual walk.

Sometimes we make the mistake of not relying on God. Instead of depending on this wonderful and powerful “Rock” that God is, we may turn to others for help and by comparison to the Rock, they will be small pebbles.

Thought: God is our Rock of salvation and life.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You so much for the reminder that Thou are my Rock. It is so comforting to know that I have Thee as the rock of my salvation and life. Therefore, help me to always turn to Thee for help and strength. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
