"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."
Buildings go up with huge machinery and men in special vests and hats. They rise above the earth and reach those lofty heights at dizzying speeds. We don't stand around watching men mix cement with their hands, level out a wall and pick stones for each little step up. Unless we live still in South Asia. The idea of a stone, rejected becoming a cornerstone, holds little significance to me in my everyday life here in the West but in Asia rocks are important. Rocks are one of the most important culinary tools for mixing spices, one of the most important self defense tools against rampaging monkeys and roaming dog packs, rocks are crucial during a side of the road breakdown, critical for fixing bike tires, essential for making chai, the list goes on and on and on. Rocks are used in many everyday aspects of life, even popular children games. They just seem more important in Asia.
Who is you rock? Where do you run to when you need help? How is Jesus your Cornerstone?
"Rock of Ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee."
