How does the Bible often use the word “rock”? (See picture.)The Bible uses the term “rock” as a word picture to help us grasp qualities that Jehovah possesses. It often appears in passages that praise him as a God who is without equal. The first reference to Jehovah as “the Rock” is found at Deuteronomy 32:4. In prayer, Hannah said that “there is no rock like our God.” (1 Sam. 2:2) Habakkuk called Jehovah “my Rock.” (Hab. 1:12) The writer of Psalm 73 called God “the rock of my heart.” (Ps. 73:26) And even Jehovah referred to himself as a rock. (Isa. 44:8) Let us discuss three rocklike qualities that Jehovah displays and learn how we can make him “our Rock.”​—Deut. 32:31

The Bible frequently uses the term "rock" to illustrate God's strength, stability, and reliability. For instance, in Deuteronomy 32:4, it emphasizes that Jehovah is perfect and without equal. Similarly, Hannah's declaration in 1 Samuel 2:2 highlights God's uniqueness. By recognizing these qualities, we can appreciate Jehovah as our steadfast support, just as Psalmist acknowledges Him as "the rock of my heart" (Psalm 73:26). This understanding can strengthen our faith in Him as "our Rock."
