My Christmas ABC's
R is for rock. Jesus taught, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." (Matthew 7:24-25 KJV)
The Book of Mormon prophet Helaman said, "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea when all his hail and his mighty storms shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fail." (Helaman 5:12, The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ)
No matter how stormy the weather, physical, emotional, or spiritual, we won't fall or fail when our lives are built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. He has the power to calm any storm and give us peace. Such a comfort for the times we live in.
