Granite

We have a pretty big kitchen, and I like it.  I like the cupboards, because they are not the conventional color of many kitchens.  They are black, and they are big, and I like the way they look.  I like our oven.  It's big and it has five burners on the stove top.  It has a convection oven, a dehydrator (I even used it once) and the racks slide in and out very easily!  I like our counter tops, because they are granite and nothing seems to hurt them.  They are strong, I can cut up vegies on them without scratching the counter.  I can set a hot pot on the counter and it won't burn a ring in the counter.  It's very handy. They are the best part of our kitchen, they are strong!
We have a big movable island in our kitchen, and the slab of granite on it is a great workplace. Also, it is the most favorite place for my two children to sit and eat. It is a center point in our kitchen, and I like it.
Granite, it's a rock and it's has great strength and durability.  Just like my God! In Psalms 62 I read about the strength of God this morning.  I read that He is my only firm foundation.
"My help and glory are in God- granite strength and safe harbor God-So trust him absolutely people; lay your lives on the line for Him, God is a safe place to be."
Nothing can break God! He is granite strength and He is the safe harbor that protects against all obstacles! In His word, light, and truth, I can be strong too.  His granite strength can get me through all things, it can lift me, encourage me, and keep me from being burned.  His granite strength survives the fire!
So, as I start my day, and trials come my way, I will hide in His granite strength.  I will be free in His glory, redemption, and strength.  I am compelled to see life through His eyes, to fix my entire being upon Him and move in His steps. I will speak of His granite strength to others and bless them with hope.
"God, the one and only-I'll wait as long as He says. Everything comes from him, so why not? He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle; I'm set for life."
Say That Again, Father God! I will stand firm on the granite rock today, and I will not fall!
