Proverbs 30:24,26: “Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise.
The conies are but a feeble folk yet make they their houses in the rocks.
Not many people take conies out for a walk on a lease. They are considered as poor and weak beings. They do not have stings like the scorpions or horns like the Rhinos for protection.
ILLUSTRATION:
Conies are not strong enough to defend themselves. So, what do they do? They are wise to make their houses in the rocks by digging deep. When a predator attacks them, they know where their security lies. They run to their hiding place of refuge. Conies move to higher ground and position themselves in rocks, which is also a place of strength.
I love Conies because they are wise to build and establish themselves in a solid foundation. This protects them from all the turmoil of nature and makes them fearless.
SCRIPTURE:
To whom do you run during your hard times? Bible tells us that Jesus is our Rock of Refuge. Like David we should boldly proclaim “He will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble, He will lift me high upon a rock. Lead me to the Rock. That is higher than I, for you have been my refuge”.
Secondly, build your life on Jesus Christ the Rock of firm foundation. For no one can lay a foundation other than on Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 3:11). He will be a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm and the shadow of a great rock. (Isaiah 32:2). Even when troubles and storms blast your life nothing can harm those who build their houses on Jesus the solid Rock.
TAKE AWAY:
Learn to make Jesus your Refuge and Solid Foundation. That is a Conies Rationale! Why fear when the enemy comes with an ammunition to use against you! For the ROCK is on your side!
