Isaiah 26:4 – "Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock."
I went to the hair stylist a few days ago. I sat down on the chair after which my stylist spread a smock around me and fastened it around my neck. After the customary greetings, her next question to me was, "How do you want to have your hair cut today?"
My response was, "I want you to make me look like The Rock."
I definitely caught her off guard. I heard snickers from the chairs on both sides. Her response was quick and witty. "I think you need to go to the gym first". Her timing was perfect.
Well, I still want to look like The Rock, but at the age of 66, I'm afraid that my time has been missed. I simply cannot hold out hope to aspire to that vision in the future.
As life goes on, not all of our dreams will come true about our physical appearance. At some point in life, we may simply have to settle for who we are, even though we strive to be something more.
But there is great news. As Believers, there is one Rock we can aspire to appear like, who is forever. Christ is our solid rock.
In our earthly form, we can only be Rocks for a short time, but in the reflection of Christ, we are Rocks forever. (But you still should keep up the exercise.)
Stay healthy and have a blessed day!
