In the song, "Mary" by Take 6, a singer states that he would like to stand on the rock where Moses stood. Previously when I would hear these lyrics, I pictured being on a rock near where God divided the sea. Yet in Exodus 33, God makes mention of a rock where Moses could stand while He passes by, “21 Then the LORD said, ‘There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.’ ” Later in 1 Samuel 6:18 scripture mentions a rock on which the ark was placed.
So I began picturing what it would be like if I stood on the rock where God passed by, or stood on the rocks that split at Golgotha (Matthew 27:51). Then I imagined standing on the rock that Jesus' tomb was cut from (Matthew 27:60) and how an angel of God rolled that huge rock back from the tomb and sat on it (Matthew 28:2).
Imagining I was standing on these rocks from scriptures reminded me of places I have stood and seen God moving in my own life. I remembered standing barefoot on the stone floor right before I was baptized. I revisited the rocks at camp where I sang with my brothers and sisters from church. I recalled my trip to Maine when I stood on the rocky edge of the ocean , got krump (type of dancing) and was moved to tears by the vastness of God as I looked out into the North Atlantic Ocean.
