::: CLEFT IN THE ROCK:::

A bird of prey was
chasing a little bird.
The little bird flew
to save its life,
darting about while
being pursued by the
large bird of prey.
The little bird quickly
flew into a crevice in
a rock face, inside
the cleft in the rock.
The large bird gave
up.
The little
bird had found shelter
in the rock, out of
reach from fearsome
claws.
It's life
was saved.
How like the little bird
are we!

The Bible says in Psalm 18 v 1 to 3 " I love
you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my
rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is
my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my
shield and the horn of my salvation, my
stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy
of praise, and I am saved from my enemies " .
Song of Soloman 2 v 13 says " My dove in
the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on
the mountainside ".

God's Glory is seen from the Rock.
Moses could see the glory of God only while
he hid in the cleft of the rock.

The Rock is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The hymn sings "Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide my self in thee".

Exodus 23:21-23 "Then the LORD said, "There
is a place near me where you may stand on a
rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you
in a cleft in the rock"
