We keep asking God to meet us where we are.
But the truth is, He’s already there. He never moved.
The Rock is fixed, solid, immovable.
It’s us who need to decide how far we’re willing to move toward Him.
The Rock Doesn’t Move
“The Rock doesn’t move. You must decide how far you’ll move toward it.”
That one sentence says it all. God isn’t shifting. He’s not adjusting to fit your lifestyle, your preferences, or your version of truth.
Jesus isn’t a trend.
He’s not a phase.
He is Petra. The immovable foundation. The Cornerstone.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
– Hebrews 13:8
God isn’t playing hide and seek.
He’s not distant or detached.
He’s present, constant, and unshaken.
You don’t need to go searching for Him. You need to decide if you’re willing to move toward Him.
He won’t budge for comfort, culture, or convenience. And yet, He’s still available. Still waiting. Still faithful.
He is the only stable thing in a crumbling world.
Cornerstone or Stumbling Block
“A stumbling block if you resist. A cornerstone if you believe.”
You either build your life on the Rock, or you trip over Him trying to build something else. There is no neutral ground.
That’s not judgment. That’s reality.
Jesus doesn’t apologize for being the truth.
He doesn’t twist to accommodate you.
He invites you to be transformed or be confronted.
“Jesus was deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts.” – Mark 3:5
He wasn’t mad. He was grieved.
Grieved because the Rock was right in front of them, and they refused to move.
Rock or Refuge
So what is He to you, really?
Here’s how it breaks down:
- Rock = strength, permanence, stability, faithfulness
- Refuge = safety, shelter, comfort, deliverance
He’s not either or. He’s both.
The Rock doesn’t just confront you.
He holds you. Covers you. Delivers you.
But here’s the truth: you don’t get to have Him as refuge until you surrender to Him as Rock.
You don’t need to find the Rock. You need to stop fighting it.
Let’s Be Real
We keep chasing soft things.
Things that won’t demand anything of us.
Things that can’t actually save us.
But softness doesn’t save.
The Rock does.
So no, the Rock doesn’t move.
The real question is:
Will you?
