After the Ants no Anticlimax

How many of us are  familiar with the Coney? Some of you must be aware of them, however for those who don’t know about the conies,  I will take a moment to explain it to you . It is   also  called rock badger. The Coney is a small animal, which has no spines and camouflage or bad smell like the skunk, nor does it have sharp claws or teeth and lastly it does not have poison. It is the most vulnerable of the creatures. It has soft feet and chews cud.

Why are these defenseless animals wise? In today's world where  intelligence is measured by the firepower and nuclear power you possess  yet  here you have these defenceless conies being called wise. They are wise because they make their house in the rocks.

  

18 High in the  mountains live the wild goats and rocks form a refuge for the coneys..  Psalms 104:18 (Living)

When in trouble  the Coney goes to its house  the Rock. It is not easy to attack you when you are  house is a rock. A snake or a mongoose or other predators cannot harm it  in its house.

In times of trouble where do we go?  We generally think we have the power and can do things ourselves. We learn the hard way that were wrong and have no power.

Do we get comfort from rituals, astrology or superstitions?

Do we go to the rock or the sands?

The Bible  tells us who our rock is. 

2  The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
      my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
   He is my shield, the power that saves me,
      and my place of safety. Psalms 18:2 (Living)

²⁴ “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Matt 7:24 ( Living)

Where do we build our lives ?  on the Rock or Sands ?

Our foundation should be on the rock. Love Trust and Justice are important stones in this foundation. When you have  foundation on the rock you need not fear in times  of trouble.

The Conies are wise because of the protection they enjoy.
