“The rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs.” (Proverbs 30:26, ESV)

The rock badger (or coney) is feeble, yet it knows where to find safety – in the rocks. Likewise, Isaiah, when he saw the Lord, cried, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips…” (Isaiah 6:5). True strength is found not in ourselves, but in God.

Paul wrote, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10). Our awareness of our own inadequacy drives us to depend on the grace of God. Exodus 33:21 speaks of standing on the rock – a picture of Christ, our refuge.

When threats come, run to the cleft of the Rock. In Him, you are as strong as the mountain you hide in. Our feebleness is an invitation to live in God’s strength.

Prayer:  

Lord, I confess my weakness. Teach me to hide in You, to find my strength in Your grace. Be my Rock and my refuge today. Amen.
