For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
(1 Corinthians 10.4
NRSV)
A United Press release in a Midwestern city told of a hospital where officials discovered that the firefighting equipment had never been connected. For 35 years it had been relied upon for the safety of the patients in case of emergency. But it had never been attached to the city's water main. The pipe that led from the building extended 4 feet underground and there it stopped! The medical staff and the patients had felt complete confidence in the system. They thought that if a blaze broke out, they could depend on a nearby hose to extinguish it. But theirs was a false security. Although the costly equipment with its polished valves and well-placed outlets was adequate for the building, it lacked the most important thing--WATER!
The things you are putting your faith in: Are you sure they can provide an answer for those moments of deepest need? The savings, health, education are all valuable--but are they enough? God is the source of supplying all of our true needs.
Dear God, may if feed often on your spiritual food. Amen.
