There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise…The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; (Prov. 30:24-28)
This particular species rabbit (coney) resides near rock formations and crevices of mountains. Ill-equipped to face predators, the coney surrounds itself with protection and can quickly evade capture by hiding amongst rocks. What great wisdom may we glean from our “feeble” friend the rabbit?
- Not quick to defend itself
- Sometimes it’s better to flee (youthful lusts)
- Holding his peace allowing God to fight his battles
- No greater protection and defense than God
Ironically, David, Israel’s most courageous king was quite the “rabbit!”
- “My rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust;” (Ps. 18:2)
- “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” (Ps. 61:2)
- “My defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.” (Ps. 94:22)
- “Rock of our salvation.” (Ps. 95:1)
Apostle Paul spells it out better than anyone who our true “Rock” is…they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (I Cor. 10:4)
