Bible Commentary

Proverbs 30:26

The cony (rock hyrax) is small and physically defenceless — yet it is wise enough to shelter in the rocks where predators cannot easily reach it. Its wisdom is not strength but discernment: it knows where safety is and goes there. For God's people, the rock of safety is God Himself (Psalm 18:2, 31:3). Knowing where to run for safety is itself a form of wisdom.

Memory phrase: God is our safe rock.

Talk about it: Where do you run when you are scared or in danger?

Prayer: God, You are my rock. I run to You.
