Devotional by Evangelist Tim Green
I Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
In Ireland, a street preacher was preaching of Christ, the Rock of our salvation. A heckler began to cry out, "What about shamrock? What about shamrock?" To the delight of the serious listeners, the faithful orator cried out in reply, "On Christ the solid Rock I stand. All other rocks are sham rocks!" How true!
If you are trusting or standing on anything but the Rock Christ Jesus today, you are relying on sham rock. Your feet are in the quicksand of confusion or the miry clay of misplaced hope. Jesus Christ is not the best foothold to stand upon--He is the only one! "I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name."
Our faith should be firmly placed in the Rock of Ages, the Stone cut out without hands, the Rock upon which the church was built. Join in chorus with the Irish street preacher as he leads his pedestrian congregation and shuts the mouths of his gainsayers: "On Christ the solid Rock I stand. All other rocks are sham rocks."
