mr hartlepool: rock and redeemer (psalm 19:14)

Words and the heart behind them are both important. Sometimes we might just be focused on the right words - thinking that because we said the right thing, or didn't say something bad, then we're ok, even though the motives behind the scenes were wrong. Or maybe we go the other way and think the words we say didn't really matter because I didn't really mean them! Both are important. The words flow from the heart. They are both connected. How do we change in this area? By looking at God. He is described as our rock. He is the only true, solid, stable foundation that we can rely on. everything else we lean our weight on can (and usually will) fail. It's common to hear people saying "they were my rock" but what happens when that person fails to give you what you need? I heard someone say that, for her and another person, "they were each other's rocks". That is nonsensical. How can you rest on someone that is needing them to support you? we need to recognise God as the Rock. He's not just an unmoving foundation. We've chosen to leave the rock and stand on other things and become enslaved to sin, unable to help ourselves, unable to return to the rock. But God is also the redeemer. He brings us out of slavery. He acts to bring us back to Him. The fault was all ours, we sold ourselves into slavery, but he paid the price of his life to free us. That's the good news of the gospel!
