The Rock That Followed Them

1 Corinthians 10:4 KJV
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

I have fallen in love today with the picture of this passage of Scripture. I see Israel in the wilderness. Before them is the pillar of fire, leading them through their experience in the wilderness. They are often taken places that they would not have elected for themselves. There are challenges. There are many times they accuse God and murmur against Moses over the way they must go.

But here the Bible says that they not only have God before them, leading their way, they have the Rock following them, pursuing after them and perhaps picking up the stragglers.

The paths we take in this world are often fraught with challenges. There are things that lead us astray and things that tempt us off the path of the Lord Jesus Christ. But God is not only before us, pointing out our way, He is behind us, seeing that we remain on that way, and putting us back on the way when we do get out of the way.

Truly God is good to us!
