Even wind, waves, and rocks obey the Lord!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Call me strange, but I believe God has a thing about rocks. Whenever my husband Ken and I drive down the 101 freeway, I always like observing the large rocks by the hillside. They remind me of Luke 19. There it says Jesus was with a crowd of people who were shouting praise to him. This really bugged the Pharisees, so they told Jesus to make those people stop. But Jesus said to them, “If these people keep silent, then the very stones will cry out.” I do not think the Lord was using a figure of speech, because if the wind and waves obeyed him, you better believe the rocks would obey him, too. One day the rocks will have a part in praising the Lord and in the meantime, their beauty and color speak loudly about the glory of their creator. So today, let’s not allow rocks to have all the fun; let’s get a head start on them and join in the chorus of praise.
