Kicks

“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation." Deuteronomy 32.15

Kicks are a form of self-defense of horses, donkeys and large quadrupeds. But the kick in this context refers to the ungrateful, to those who have been freed from their dungeons, but then turned away ...
Many came to the UCKG one day in critical condition. And after being freed from their ailments, they turned their backs and joined the persecutors of the Universal Church.

Prudent

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." Matthew 7.24-25

Building a house on the rock requires more time, money and overall effort. However, once ready, nor even tsunamis are not able to bring it down.
The same applies to one who builds his life on Jesus. That is, listening and practicing His Word.

Refuge

"The LORD is their strength, and He is the saving refuge of His anointed." Psalms 28:8

Those who are in the Rock live safely, not even death reaches them! The Lord has been His people's Fortress.

Lose

"And be very careful around them so you don't lose out on what we've worked so diligently in together; I want you to get every reward you have coming to you." 2 John 1:8

Satan and his gang know that it is easier to give up than to keep our faith. And so they persevere. But those who are of God maintain their faith upon the rock because of the conscience of their eternal future.

GOD

"For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God, the God who girds me with strength And makes my way blameless?"

Psalm 18:32-33

Faith deeply founded in the Eternal Rock leads us through perfect and safe ways. Who shall we fear?

While you sleep

"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep."
Psalms 127:1-2

If God is not in control of everything in the human life, it is pointless. But those who have built their houses on the Rock have the increase and the protection even in their sleep.
