GOSPEL NUGGET #508

Pr 30:26 the rock-badgers are not a mighty people, yet they make their houses in the rock.

The rock-badgers here (shephanim in the NASB) are actually rock hyraxes. It's a small furry animal that looks like a guinea pig. They are weak and defenseless in themselves against large animals like leopards, birds etc. Their best defense is to hide among the rocks. 


Salvation is exactly like that. Spiritually speaking, we, sinners, are like rock-badgers. We are helpless in ourselves against the oncoming wrath of God that we deserve. Our only hope is to hide behind the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for our salvation.

Flee from the wrath to come! Make the Rock of Ages, through faith, your refuge!
