There was a trend for a while when students would paint rocks and put nice sayings or scripture verses on them and leave them in various locations. Those rocks you may have walked passed and didn’t know it, or you may have seen them and know what I am talking about.

This morning, I was at the park very early this morning walking the dog and as I was praying and processing out loud with the Lord, I began to thank Him as He revealed to me what He was doing in a challenge I am facing. As the praise rose from my heart out the doors of my lips, I saw a rock with blue paint on it and wondered what the saying on it was.

The rock said, “The pain that you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that is coming. Romans 8:18.” I grabbed that rock and knew it was a word of encouragement for me and added value to the praise I was giving to the Lord for the challenge I have been facing.

Once home, still smiling at the rock the Lord put on my path, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Even the rocks cry out!” I giggled and began to sing a new song to the Lord saying, Yes, even the rocks cry out the truth of God, yes even the rocks cry out.

Friends, I do not know what you are going through, but I am here to remind you that even the rocks cry out on your path to encourage you that God sees everything, hears everything and works everything together for the good. It may not feel good, but it is working things together for the good. Maybe you need to hear the voice of the rock crying out, like I did, so this one is for you as it was for me as well.
